Idea-Exchange Breakout Session: ‘Achieving Effective Product Innovation Governance’

Do you have an effective Product Innovation governance system in place?  More importantly, do you know how to improve upon it if it isn’t producing desired results?  Numerous research studies confirm the critical link between effective decision-making and product innovation performance.  However, despite the hard evidence, many companies struggle to make effective decisions and achieve harmony across each of the drivers of product innovation performance: Product Innovation Strategy, Portfolio Management and Stage-Gate Idea-to-Launch systems.  Why?

This interactive, idea-exchange is an opportunity to join into a free-flowing discussion among a small group of delegates and explore this critical topic.  Break-out sessions are professionally facilitated and focus on key aspects of effective NPD Governance such as:  Selecting Strategic Arenas, Communicating Innovation Strategy, Allocating Resources, Selecting the Mix of Projects and Making Tough Go/Kill Decisions.  Hear what other companies are doing to improve their Product Innovation Governance systems – what is working and what is not.  All delegates will hear the results of each Idea-Exchange Breakout Session and will receive an Executive Summary for future reference.
