Successful lean development requires collaboration, communication, and cooperation between engineering and marketing. Because of inherent difficulties of product development, adding pressures of limited time and limited staff can cause the opposite effects. Special strategies are needed for companies to be effective in a lean environment.</p> <p>The Oregon Chapter of the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) invites you to its September Learning and Networking Event. At this event, experienced professionals will discuss their recommendations for lean product development, including discussions of processes, organizational structures, strategies, incentives, and staffing considerations. This is planned as an interactive event - the panelists will give short position statements at the start and the rest of the discussion will be based on Q&A from the audience and the moderator.</p> <p>A special thanks to the Oregon Technology Business Center (OTBC) for hosting this event.</p> <p>Panelists: John Geffel - Managing Partner at VALUE:driven Group Mark Peden - Senior Consultant at Broadband ERA Richard Coley - Lean Systems Implementer / Coach at CFS Consulting Group</p> <p>Date, Time, and Cost: Thursday, September 22, 2011 5:30-8:30 PM $20 on-line registration prior to the event $25 at the door A discount is available for PDMA members.
