Achieving Growth Through Product
Development Best Practices
by the Chicago PDMA
June 10, 2008
Chicago, IL |
The President of “Giant Company,” the
leading manufacturer of specialty
widgets, has given the
Marketing/Engineering team a week to
come up with a plan to improve lagging
sales by overhauling the NPD processes.
Giant Co. executives (a.k.a. “conference
participants”), will hear presentations
from several experts, on how their
approach is exactly what Giant Co.
needs. Three critical areas are under
consideration to be overhauled to regain
Giant Co.'s product leadership:
1) Voice of the Customer; 2) Ideation;
and 3) NPD Process. A Q&A session will
follow every two presentations for each
of the three areas of product
development. Participants will have an
opportunity to pepper the experts with
questions designed to trip them up and
expose the fallacies, if any, in their
approaches. Tony Ulwick will present
“Achieving Organic Growth Through
Innovation” at this one-day conference
sponsored by the Chicago chapter of PDMA.

PDMA
International Conference - Innovation Connection 2007
Voice of the Customer: Helping or Hurting Creativity?
October 1-2, 2007 Orlando, Florida |
|
Voice of the Customer has been an accepted best practice in New Product
Development for more than 15 years now. And in the PDMA’s 2004 Comparative
Performance Assessment Study (CPAS), it turned out to be one of the strongest
differentiators between the “best” performing product development companies
versus the “rest”. But VOC has its detractors, as well. In this lively 2-hour
session, a panel of experts from all sides of the VOC debate, including Tony
Ulwick, CEO of Strategyn, “duked it out” – with audience participation
encouraged!
