Product Development Workshop
An Approach Incorporating International Best Practice

24 June 2008
9.30am - 4.30pm

Venue: Belfast (Details TBC)

INTRODUCTION

Product development including both new products and existing products and services is an essential activity within many organisations, being the lifeblood for some. How do you know that your processes and working practices are as good as the best in the world? Are you getting maximum value? Is there room for improvement?

What is this approach?

The approach to product development used in this workshop moulds together the best of Northern Ireland experience with proven International Best Practice (from PDMA at http://www.pdma.org) that has evolved over several years with many different types of organisations, making it ideal for the local NI company or organisation wishing to improve their own product development processes. CforC is the Northern Ireland branch of the Ireland/UK PDMA Chapter (http://www.pdma.org/uk). All delegates get 1 year’s membership of PDMA, with access to considerable online resources, included in this workshop price.

What happens on the day?

This one-day, interactive workshop will provide you with an International benchmark reference point from which to assess your company’s product development process. The day is delivered in a participative and interactive manner, is interesting and stimulating, with a view to actually helping you to adapt this process to suit your own organisation.

Who would benefit from this approach?

Senior managers, middle managers, team leaders, people at any level in the organisation that are involved with product and/or service development. It is equally appropriate for the private, public and voluntary sectors, selling both products and services and for any size of company or organisation.
