New products typically account for roughly 30% of company sales, a number which is bound to increase. Time to market is getting shorter as well (400% less over the last 50 years). Nevertheless, only half of these new products reach their target sales and/or are launched on time. What is happening? What separates the winners from the losers? This master class will look into best practices to avoid these issues, actively engaging the audience.
