Event Background
Why R & D
R&D investments continue to be under more scrutiny as sluggish economic conditions stall and the pressure to do more with less persists across multiple cross sections of industries. How can you ensure that your R&D dollars are being spent wisely? Creativity and innovation are vital for businesses exposed to globalization, increasing competition, diversity among consumers and rapidly changing technology. Tomorrow’s competitive success will be based on today's cutting edge creative ideas and rapid delivery of these ideas to market. But with an average failure rate of 30-50% in new product development, getting the right idea to market as efficiently as possible is critical to your business success.
If your company is like most, innovation is likely a top priority but few metrics are in place to effectively measure its payback. Most companies surveyed use five or fewer metrics to track their innovation / New product Development efforts. Finding the right metrics to effectively monitor and measure innovation effectiveness and new product development performance is critical; failure to select and implement the right measures can mean missed opportunities, misallocated resources and poor decision-making.

Why you must attend
While India might seem like a natural location to expand off shoring into R&D, it is hampered by some serious structural problems that range from not enough home-grown researchers to a lack of government support. India produces around 300,000 computer science graduates a year. Yet, it produces only around 100 computer science PhDs, a small fraction of the 1,500-2,000 that get awarded in the US, or China, every year
The Economist states that 3000 bright ideas result in 100 worthwhile projects, which are narrowed down to 4 development projects. Uncertainty haunts all innovation attempts and failure of course, is always a possibility. Indeed the bedrock of innovation is failure. The reason so many innovation projects fail is due to a lack of a well defined cross-functional
New Product Strategy and insufficient involvement of critical departments during the development and launch of the product.
