Welcome to PDMA’s Visions Magazine
”Insights into Innovation” ™

For over 30 years, PDMA’s Visions magazine has been providing product developers with practical information, data, and insights into success in new product development (NPD) and innovation. The magazine contains case studies from companies such as Clorox and Procter & Gamble that excel at innovation, benchmarking information, opinion pieces, and in-depth tool and technique articles from innovation gurus such as Bob Cooper (Stage-Gate™) and Henry Chesbrough (Open Innovation). Visions helps practitioners stay on top of trends and tools in the field of NPD in order to improve their own company’s success in innovation. Visions Editorial schedule can be found on this page, and for further information about the magazine, contact us at VisionsEd@pdma.org.

PDMA Announcement—
Change in Visions Schedule for 2009

It comes as no surprise that the current economic conditions are putting strains on all businesses.  This includes professional associations like PDMA.  While PDMA continues to have a solid financial position, we need to take steps to ensure we successfully weather the economic downturn and emerge from it poised to continue the remarkable growth which we have achieved over the recent years.  One step we are taking to reduce our expenses is to temporarily reduce the number of annual issues of Visions from four to three. To minimize the impact on you, our members, however, we will increase the number of pages in each issue.  Hopefully, we will be able to restore Visions to four issues soon, while saving money in the meantime.  Thanks very  much for understanding.
