Winning at New Products Seminar

Winning At New Products: Achieving New Product Success with Best Practices

Achieving a steady stream of successful new products and reducing time-to-market remain elusive goals for many organizations. Dr. Cooper and Dr. Edgett’s benchmarking studies have shown that a high quality new product process increases new product success rates by almost 40% and achievement of profit objectives by 88%. The studies have also proven that merely having a formal process in place has no impact whatsoever; it is the nature of the process – the ingredients built-in - that makes the difference.

Attend this executive seminar and discover the 10 critical success factors to winning at product innovation.
