6th R&D-Product Development Innovation Summit This Summit has already been held. Please visit our current Innovation Summit.
ANNOUNCEMENTThe ability of top managers and professionals to direct and manage Innovation in their companies is the focus of the sixth R&D - Product Development Innovation Summit. The Innovation Summit will be held Tue/Wed/Thur December 9-11, 2008 in metro Boston. The Innovation Summit is an intensive fact and data driven three-day seminar and workshop focused on the select areas of innovation and intellectual property that are currently tangible and actionable by corporations and their managers. Summit DescriptionOur quantative approach to innovation in R&D, Product Development, and Product Commercialization activities emphasizes benchmarking both current performance and leading trends regarding issues that top professionals have to deal with and the decisions that they have to make. For example, do you know which activities and techniques your company currently uses that contribute the most to innovation versus those that simply improve execution? Technical Feasibility Analysis is one of the six most innovative techniques! For example, do you know that there are over 250 available tools and techniques your company could choose to deploy that would likely increase overall creativity and innovativeness? And, that there are about 50 tools worth considering. Some actually increase domain knowledge! Has your company incorporated any of these innovation tools into its Product Development Process to complement DOE, FMEA, Design Reviews and the numerous other execution-oriented tools that dominate most PDPs? For example, do you know the metrics that are emerging in industry that best capture and/or drive innovative behavior and results at the corporate level? A new "Return On Innovation - ROI" formula is one of them! For example, do you know how to categorize and communicate your registered and unregistered Intellectual Property to maximize market capitalization values by Wall Street analysts? Some frameworks are now several years in practice and are giving companies a leg up on their competitors! The 8 Innovation ModulesThe content of the Summit is organized into 8 modules. The duration of each module and the flow over the three days is in our Summit ATaGLANCE. There is a Summit Brochure. Companies who have participated in prior GGI Summits may be of interest, along with selected Testimonials. In summary, the eight modules are:
In addition at this Summit, GGI will be presenting for the first time the set of results of our 2008 Primary Research on Tangible Innovation: Innovation Environment, Innovation Processes, Innovation Branding, Innovation Tools, and Top C-Level Innovation Metrics.
