Roundtable June 12-14 in San Diego,CA

Join Guy Henninger as he leads a 90-minute roundtable discussion on "Implementing and Communicating Critical Innovation Metrics that Really Matter" at Frost & Sullivan Global Innovations In New Product Development, June 12-14 in San Diego,CA.

Whether you're "scaling up" your existing program or trying to take it to the "next level", the value of your innovation program needs to be measured and demonstrated in order to continue to garner support from the business.  Sometimes, the measure of true value of innovation can be elusive.  Traditional ROI metrics used in other parts of the business (eg. costs saved, revenue generated) don't always capture the momentum or traction that your innovation program is gaining.  Participants in this interactive session will discuss ways to apply meaningful metrics they can use in their business no matter what level of maturity.

Key-Take Aways:

• Framework to demonstrate innovation opportunities as potential "performing assets"
• Insight on the difference between "leading" and "lagging" indicators of performance and how to apply them in your program
• Template to implement at least one new meaningful metric that will change your program for the better in the coming year
