Pre-Conference Workshop
C
Workshop A - 8:30am-12:00pm (morning half day)
PPRD: Proactive
and
Predictive R&D Metrics
Instructor: Bradford L. Goldense, President, Goldense Group, Inc.
Called "proactive" and "predictive"
metrics, these advanced R&D measurement tools enable developers to avoid
many traditional project difficulties that all too frequently undermine
product launch schedules and the resultant marketplace profitability.
This workshop is designed to assist its
participants to develop early up-front measurement indicators to "reduce
the risk" of new product development (NPD) projects and the R&D
environment as a whole. The "Proactive and Predictive R&D Metrics"
seminar focuses on R&D management processes in the NPD body of knowledge
that are most highly correlated with success and failure of R&D
investments. This seminar enables leading product developers to raise
the measurement bar within their company’s development organization in
order to achieve "best practices" in product development.
Takeaways:
- Which proactive and predictive R&D metrics tell
us where a development project is headed
- How to use and apply advanced metrics to
optimize R&D processes in your organization
- Why a company’s technical professionals are key
to getting the risk out of NPD
- How to characterize the development process by
measuring the process
