About this Event
This is the second day of a 2-day workshop. It’s a more in-depth conversation led by the challenges of the group, helping everyone to take their PD a level up. Feel free to come to Day 1 as a refresher, then join day 2 for the in-depth conversation.
This workshop is for those who want to take their New Product Development efforts a step up. You've launched several products in the past, you may have a team to manage and you want to learn how to improve. The workshop on day 1 will be a good refresher. This day 2 session is a more in-depth conversation, led by the challenges of the group, helping everyone to take their NPD a level up. To make a difference by design. Be part of the conversation!
When it comes to new product development (NPD) the challenges for most CEO's are:
- poor ROI - GM$
- cost of re-work, complaints,
- impact of NPD on BAU
- poor communication - poor visibility, unaligned team
and for most PD managers:
- NPD isn't fun, "I'd love to do things better but am already working 60hrs/wk."
- I'm stressed, not enjoying my job
- I can't get through to the management team.
Building on the Basics Sessions, this session is a conversation where Saskia will share her learnings & insights in how to prevent or solve the above challenges. As a participant, you will leave this session with new connections, draft plans and tools and insights ready to implement in your workplace.
You will gain the insights to help your organisation improve ROI on NPD and be more successful on the international stage. - Faster, better, more profitable NPD with more fun. A consistent pipeline of new products. Because "when NPD flows, everyone is happy!"
Please come prepared to work through your own product development challenges.
Early bird pricing ends Friday 20th August.
