News Release
New
Technology Development Seminar Launched by Stage-GateŽ,
Inc.
ANCASTER,
ONTARIO, CANADA – December 17, 2002 -- Stage-GateŽ,
Inc., today announced a new seminar for 2003. Technology
Developments, Platforms & Fundamental Research Breakthroughs:
Managing for Profitable Results.
Based
on over 20 years of best practice research in NPD, Dr. Robert
G. Cooper has designed this event to provide the latest
breakthrough approaches to the development of product platforms
and new technology breakthroughs.
The
seminar’s interactive approach will give participants
the opportunity to learn about the importance of investing
in these higher risk projects – from which organizations
tend to shy away. But it is these types of fundamental technologies
that will provide organizations with new capabilities, and
lead to winning new products. “The Technology Development
seminar will certainly provide insights for the development
of core capabilities which will lay the foundation for future
development of new product winners”, said Dr. Cooper.
“Such technologies can be key in gaining long-term
competitive advantage”.
And
when organizations do pursue such projects, they often put
them through a traditional new product process without realizing
that such projects are different, and require a different
approach altogether. The seminar will examine the importance
of technology development processes to integrate both scientific
and business aspects, without undermining the creativity
required in the early stage of product development.
Dr.
Cooper will also continue to deliver the highly acclaimed
“Winning at New Products” seminar through 2003.
