The more things change, the less they do. This is the reality that the 4th Benchmark Survey on Product Portfolio Management has uncovered: product organizations reveal that they face an ever-tightening vice grip of market pressures without a corresponding increase in the quality or availability of those factors that would enable speeding innovation in the face of those pressures. Watch this IM Channel One Ask the Expert Q&A Webcast and learn about tangible methods to build a road map for sustainable innovation.

Planview recently developed the Innovation Management Maturity Model™, a matrix-based tool that enabled those surveyed to assign their organizations a maturity level of 1 (low) through 5 (high) against the variables of People, Process and Tools. There is a clear correlation between an organization’s innovation maturity and the risks to its product portfolios. In this webcast the expert panelists introduce the Innovation Management Maturity Model™ and expand on why it is important to product organizations.

Key insights:

  • Product organization pain points and business risks are escalating and conditions are not conducive to propelling innovation.
  • Driving innovation fast enough to deliver the right market-driven products in the right window requires enough of the right resources at the right time.
  • Introduction of Innovation Maturity Model and why it is important to product organizations.
