If the engagement concerns a product and/or service (re-)definition or (re-)vision this should be captured in a
product/services definition. Note that product / service in this context refers to the client's market offering. Most
likely this will be initiated and perhaps be done entirely in the client domain as this is the client's primary
business. As part of the engagement the supplier (Capgemini) will perform a supporting role and attribute to the
product/service definitions rather than taking a leading role. In the new product/service definition there is both the
external as well as the internal perspective. The external perspective defines how the customer/market perceives the
new product/service in terms of benefit and added value, the so called marketing speak. The internal perspective
defines how the organisation will deliver the product/service in broad terms and how it stands out compared to the
competition or current offerings in the market. For the Business Analysis role in this perspective it is important to
be able to make the link to the business process model: aspects or elements that impact the process model should be
incorporated in the product/service description.
Example: If a new product/service definition promises to have a full visibility on how the product/service is
delivered, it needs to be described what this visibility entails from a customer perspective.
