New Product Development Consortium
The history, purpose and some key outcomes from the New Product Development Consortium are presented.
New Product Development Consortium
Triggered by a request from ISBM member Unisys, this consortium includes typically 15-20 new product development (NPD) process owners at the firm or large SBU level. Twice annually, practitioners share insights on NPD processes they have in place, where they're working, where they're not working, trouble spots, etc.
A recent focus of this consortium has been "portfolio management" for new products: tools and techniques for ensuring that the right mix of initiatives—with the right mix of risk and reward—is being managed in the NPD processes. The Consortium has heard from world-leading researchers as such as Dr. Robert Cooper of McMaster University, and Dr. Abbie Griffin of the University of Illinois, as well as case histories from 3M, Corning, and others.
