Contact us with your input. President's Message Regardless of the large body of knowledge that has been accumulated in modern times there still has been far too many new product failures. Organizations both large and small are suffering significantly from this... Then there are other organizations that seem to effortlessly release streams of successful products. How? Many of these failures are avoidable with the application of suitable best practices. People and process are the keys. Developing only one or the other alone will not produce improved results. Our chapter’s goal is to change this situation by unifying and growing the local community through enabling access to global resources. I strongly believe in the value this holds for our field of practice, our companies and our community. We have a line-up of topic focused events given by distinguished speakers from both industry and academia. Besides presenting interesting subject-matter lectures and plant tours, we also offer various other valuable resources: Professional development. Networking with peers. Current issues awareness. Access to the PDMA Body of Knowledge. JPIM journal. NPDP Certification. Volunteering. Corporate sponsorship. Nigel Ramoutar President, Western New York Chapter PDMA |
