Abstract
From Concept to Reality: Success in Product Development
This presentation will detail the steps required to avoid the common pitfalls of new product development in order to efficiently and effectively make your way to market. Building a strong and balanced development team is the first step in minimizing the obstacles that often prevent success. Also, the discipline to adhere to a structured product development path is an equally critical component of the process. We will demonstrate the important role that proper industry alliances played while chronicling the progression of the 4moms Cleanwater Infant Tub from conception through reality.
