BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - Sep 8, 2011) - Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (
This Summit will examine how companies can respond to both the challenges and corresponding opportunities of bringing new products to market, from selecting product ideas with the greatest customer appeal, improving design efficiencies, and managing engineering and design resources and suppliers across broad geographic areas.
"Today's climate of economic uncertainty has created many unique challenges for new product development. While creating new innovative products or incorporating innovation into existing product offerings presents numerous opportunities for revenue growth, most manufacturers have fewer resources available to bring new product ideas to market," according to Michelle Boucher, Senior Research Analyst for the Aberdeen Group's Product Innovation and Engineering research practice. "To minimize risk, companies should take advantage of learning from the success of others to help them improve efficiencies and enable revenue growth and profitability."
Presentation and session topics will include "Fostering a Culture of Innovation," "Transforming Innovative Technologies into Commercial Success," "When Innovate or Die Is Critical: Using Information Systems to Advance Business Projects," "Closed Loop Quality Management for Competitive Advantage" and others featuring C-level and VP-level executives.
