Goldense Group, Inc. -GGI- Offers New Product Development Metrics Portfolios -PDMP- Seminar.

    NEEDHAM, Mass.--April 8, 2003--Is new product development crucial to your company success? CFO Magazine, in its article "A P&L for R&D" in Feb. 2000, says "Common wisdom holds that a company that's six months late with a new product stands to lose a third of its market share. And R&D will only become more critical, as product life cycles shrink and new product development and time to market become even higher priorities." Are you struggling to implement a comprehensive set of metrics that accurately reflect the current performance of your R&D efforts and can help guide future performance?
