Hybrid R&D - The Path to Breakthrough Innovation Webcast on May 1st

 Join the May 1st webcast and Innovation Management Ecosystem full-day workshop this Fall

The May 1st PDMA Webcast, Hybrid R&D - The Path to Breakthrough Innovation, is part of a innovation workshop that Mark Adkins, founder and president of Smart Hammer Innovation and Pittsburgh PDMA Board Member, has developed over the past several years. 

During this webcast, Mark will discuss the emerging organizational concept Hybrid R&D that shows how breakthrough innovation can be achieved by building an organization based on: 

• A mission to create entirely new product categories
• Restructuring a traditional R&D group to include the role of commercial managers
• A Stage Zero process which is critical to filter and promote breakthrough ideas 

If your idea-to-launch process is so refined that breakthrough innovation ideas may not be advanced, or if all available funding is committed to core products, this is a webcast you won't want to miss.
