Confidence in Quality: Ensure Your Product Is Ready for Market

This discussion will bring clarity and alternatives to ensure your product is ready for market and discuss methods to manage this business risk.

Do you know you know, or think you know?

How can the leader of the business know that the new or revamped product or service is really good to go? This is what leadership frets about, worries about and works to answer every day. After all, their reputation and financial success depends on it. Every company, organization, club and home has their own special way of making this happen.

Mr. Thompson will focus on a simple question today, "Do you know you know or think you know?". Some folks refer to this concept as Risk Analysis, Regulatory Compliance, Robustness or simple meeting product launch timelines. Robust Design today is hard because of rapid technology expansion, pressure to rent outside designers to control costs and the rapid mobilization of workforce's that limit "tribal knowledge". Today's discussion will bring clarity and alternatives to this problem and methods to manage this business risk.
