Pre-Conference Workshop A
Collaborating in Cyberspace –
Managing "Co-Wired" Teams
Monday,
October 16 - 8:30am-12:00PM
Instructor: Dr. Scott Elliott, Principal, Product Development
Consulting, Inc.
NEW! - Scott will be
joined by Agilent's Brian Hughes, who will add his own implementation
experiences.
Internet tools enable you
to collaborate in ways you didn’t dream of 10 years ago. Despite these
advances, your time-to-market and total return from projects has not
improved significantly. Why not? Because you are probably managing your
new product development projects exactly the way you managed them in
your old co-located, self-contained enterprise.
To benefit fully from the new technologies and the new economy, you
may need to re-engineer your management system. Following the
principles and steps of this workshop, your company can gain a
competitive advantage in speed and cost as you move to a distributed,
collaborative product development environment.
Agenda
- Changing the way you
lead in a "co-wired"
environment.
- Management behavior changes
- Incentive changes
- Providing virtual meeting space and protocols
- avoid the "Tyranny of
Core Competency"
- What does the customer value?
- Shopping the world for competency
- Concurrent supply chain development
- Building "co-wired" partnerships
- Managing "knowledge inventory"
- Coordinating distributed NPD efforts
- Knowledge inventory "velocity"
- Managing knowledge constraints and bottlenecks
- "Co-wired" project management and metrics
- Steps to achieving a successful "co-wired"
environment
Examples from industry will be used.
