NAPERVILLE, IL, July 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) A webcast entitled New Product Development and Launch Best Practices for Construction is now open for registration on the Construction Marketing Association (CMA) website. The free webcast for members and non-members is scheduled for Thursday, July 14, 2011 at 1 pm CST.
With stratospheric new product development costs, and new product failure rates in excess of 90%, product development and launch systems and processes must be carefully evaluated and more effectively implemented.
Join panelists Jeff Kotz, Product Marketing Manager for Weather Guard Div. Emerson Electric, and Debbie Miller Pierce, agency principal to review new product best practice examples. CMA Chairman Neil Brown will share results of a national survey on product development, along with a new product launch checklist.
