“The innovation roadmap provides a high level framework combined with detailed step by step explanations, which is grounded in the executional realities of new product developments. In my view, it is value-adding to both seasoned practitioners looking for a frame of reference for innovation projects, as well as to individuals looking to build or improve their innovation management competencies.”
David Lukey, P. Eng., PMP, CSM; Senior Manager, PMO & Business Projects Portfolio, Allstream
“This framework provides a convenient, centralized location with the tools to develop an innovation plan without having to get certified first in a methodology. With the Learnings section users have the opportunity, through workshops and roundtables, to network with others in a similar situation”.
