IMI's Developing More Winning New Products Faster!™ course is one of IMI's Ink Jet Technology Integration Short Courses being held in conjunction with IMI's Ink Jet Technology Showcase 2012.
Successful innovation drives superior business results. That said, a small fraction of the projects that companies invest in ever turn into successful projects. Many studies have shown that just "throwing money" at the problem doesn't make the results better! Senior executives increasingly ask is, "Am I getting a big enough bang for the bucks I spend in new product development?" Our job, as new product development managers is to increase the pace of high impact innovation while simultaneously being superior stewards of our firms' precious new product development investments. What is required is a smart, disciplined approach to innovation. In the "new normal" of new product development there is no place for poorly focused, poorly performing investment whether they're in new product development or in anywhere else. This course presents a methodology that can help you dramatically improve your results.
The unique course, Developing More Winning New Products Faster!™ is an integrated system of lecture and case based teamwork that will help you learn how to choose a better mix of new product development projects to maximize their chance of success and to maximize their value. This course is designed primarily for research and product development professionals who are trying to increase the value that their firms derive from new product development efforts. You will learn an integrated approach to product development that focuses the entire process around three fundamental questions:
How will you identify and create customer value?
How will you deliver that value to those customers?
How will you extract some of that value for your firm?
The course will be divided into two sessions. In the morning we will focus on the fundamental framework and tools that you need to master to dramatically improve your new product success. In the afternoon we will consolidate your learning by working through a Harvard Business School case.
The course develops your fundamental skills for the entire chain of steps required for successful innovation. This full process focus will improve your ability to identify new product or service opportunities that will have the largest payoffs for your organization.
Helping to make the lessons most relevant to the challenges you face day to day, the course integrates the lecture with a participative teamwork based on a new product development simulation centered on the new product development challenges faced by a fictitious company in our industry. This case based learning method deepens your understanding of the techniques by providing an opportunity to use the techniques right away. Consolidating your learning in this manner also improves your ability to quickly begin applying the lessons when you return to your organization.
