There are countless tools
available to the new product developer — many are
self-serving hype or apply to only the narrowest of
situations. The best NPD practitioners are “tools
strategists” who recognize and apply the right tool at the
right time, and avoid the revenge effects of inappropriate
“best practices.”
This session will introduce
the learner to several effective NPD tools - some very
simple and some quite sophisticated. By participating you
will receive an overview of the toolbox and a systematic
approach to selecting tools that are most appropriate to
your situation.
Overall, this audio session
will help you become a product development tools strategist.
Specifically you will
learn:
-
How NPD tools are similar
and different from hand tools
-
The real world use of NPD
toolboxes – what works and doesn’t
-
Select tools for faster
innovation and exciting products
-
How to remove speed bumps
and rigidity from your development process
-
How to front-load the
development process to achieve maximum speed
-
Rolling-wave technique for
project planning and execution
The session is 90
minutes with frequent opportunities for questions & answers.
