12th Annual Society of Concurrent Product Development (SCPD) Conference
The SCPD 12th Annual Conference will be held June 25–26 at the 3M Innovation Center in St. Paul. SCPD is a nonprofit organization dedicated to disseminating the latest knowledge relating to concurrent product development (CPD). We promote the integration of Strategy, People, Process, Tools and Technology as a major enhancement to introducing innovations to the marketplace. We believe this to be very effective in reducing time-to-market and eliminating quality issues, redesigns, and cost over-runs.
This dynamic conference features speakers who will describe the benefits of Concurrent Innovation (Concurrency) and Best Practices for strategically positioning innovation. SCPD’s nonprofit status allows it to present these distinguished speakers at extremely attractive rates. The conference fee includes a one year membership to SCPD.
Those interested in learning from seasoned practitioners about their trials, tribulations and ultimate resolutions should attend this conference. It will provide great value to both new and experienced practitioners of Concurrent Product Development (CPD). Many of our speakers explicate their real life successes and failures as teaching models.
