The second seminar (Proactive and Predictive R&D Metrics (PPRD) - January 30 AM) focuses on three different stages of developing early, predictive metrics that will enable managers to foresee issues on the horizon or to know that success is in front of them.  Click to view the PPRD Abstract or to download the PPRD Table of Contents.

The third seminar, a capstone, (Product Development Metrics Portfolios (PDMP) - January 30 PM and January 31) is expressly for the purpose of developing a set of measures for the R&D organization as a whole, including the few measures that should be used by the corporation to measure R&D productivity, output, and overall performance results.  Click to view the PDMP Abstract  or to download the PDMP Table of Contents.  The US Patent & Trademark Office granted a trademark to GGI in January 2007 for our Linked Metrics Portfolio® framework which is used during the PDMP seminar to create the set of metrics for R&D-Product Development.
