Episode Description

The buzz: Hum a few bars? Manufacturers: Achieving sustainable product innovation requires great discipline plus extraordinary collaboration within your company, across your stakeholder community, and with your customers. Why? Booming global competition requires you to have more product variants, faster time to market, lower costs – all while facing growing regulatory and sustainability requirements. How? Borrow a page from the music world: a PLM symphony of simplification, technology, automation, and agility. The experts speak. Alan Mendel, LeverX: “Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future” (Walt Disney). Jeff Doneghue, BUNN: “When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps” (Confucius). Brian Soaper, SAP: “If you have always done it that way, it is probably wrong” (Charles Kettering). Join us for Orchestrating Sustainable Product Innovation: Compose Your Symphony.
