BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - February 16, 2010) - Aberdeen
Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE : HHS ), today announced the
availability of a new report, The Successful Engineering Executive: How to Justify
Budgets and Prepare for Tomorrow. This report provides engineering
managers with guidance for aligning their goals to the CEO's objectives,
enabling them to justify higher budgets.
"Enabling engineering to develop new innovative products that drive revenue
requires resources and resources require budget. Justifying this budget to
the CEO or company president is not easy, especially during a time when
budgets are already tight," said Michelle Boucher, research analyst in
Aberdeen's Product Innovation and Engineering practice. "This report
explains how to quantify performance measures for the engineering
department and put them in the context of CEO objectives to equip the
engineering executive with the business case to justify increased
engineering budgets."
The report also examines important managerial topics such as imperative
issues to consider for the future success of the engineering department,
which roadblocks must be addressed for optimal engineering efficiency, and
advice on how to retain and develop engineering talent.
