This is a workshop aimed at SME F&B manufacturers who wish to streamline their new product development (NPD) process, to bring well designed products to market more quickly and profitably.
Participants can be startup companies new to the disciplines of product development tools and processes, or established companies with experienced PD teams wanting to work smarter and more successfully.

NPD expert Saskia van der Geest uses her vast experience to present practical tools and tips for faster, better, more profitable innovation. Saskia’s presentation is packed with real life anecdotes and solutions to common challenges. http://www.vandergeest.co.nz/

The topics to be covered include:
• NPD Basics – common challenges, prioritisation, managing risk
• Linking NPD to business goals and strategy
• Establishing a clear project brief, teams and checklists
• Applying NPD tools and tips
• Latest thinking on NPD
• Practical Problem Solving

During the course participants will apply the learnings to their own realtime examples, using the tools to progress actual tasks. The course also gives attendees the opportunity to network and share their experiences with other food & beverage operators in the region. Please come prepared to work through your own product development challenges.
