A Message from Dr. Robert Cooper

Dr. Robert Cooper
All is not well in many corporate research labs today. Businesses’ inability to handle high-risk Technology Development (TD) and Platform projects effectively contributes to a reluctance to undertake more of them. In short, because these projects are mismanaged, the results are often negative, which creates a real fear of undertaking these higher risk, but vital, projects.

The fact is that traditional systems just do not work for TD projects. Why? Traditional new product processes are designed for fairly well-defined and predicable projects. But Technology Developments are by their nature high risk projects with many unknowns. Many of the activities required of most companies’ new product process simply do not fit with TD projects.

Attend this insightful seminar where we will focus on a systematic stage-and-gate process specific to Platform and Technology Development projects and how to successfully manage the high-risk and uncertainties associated with these projects.

P.S. If you can bring colleagues to the event, so much the better… this initiative requires a team effort and it’s always good to have a small team, rather than just one person returning to your company to implement what you’ve learned. Take a look at our agenda, the quality and quantity of information is unmatched! I look forward to meeting you and your colleagues - see you there!
