Innovation  consultant Mike Dalton makes a bold claim:
50% or more of your new product innovation capacity is
Hiding In Plain Sight.

That’s right – even in the best of companies, half of new product resources (Marketing, R&D, Engineering, Manufacturing Scale-Up and Sales) end up as waste.

In this highly interactive and engaging session, you will experience some of the root causes for this waste as well as learn steps you can begin taking to double new product throughput with your existing resources.

Key Takeaways from this session:

• A real life understanding of the root causes for innovation taking longer than it needs to and delivering less than you want including:
• Why new products finish late and under-deliver
• How to build plans your team can execute on-time
• An approach to visualize real status of new product projects
• How to manage priorities in a multi-project environment
• A set of tools and principles you can use to address these core problems
• A blueprint for doubling speed to market and new product profits without added costs or resources

Target audience:
The presentation is focused on the executives leading growth & innovation efforts for their corporations and the senior innovation drivers they depend on to get new products to market (Technical Directors, Engineering Directors, Directors of Product Management, Senior Product Managers, and other technical managers)
