IndustryWeek and PTC Launch New Electronic Newsletter for Manufacturing Executives
IndustryWeek Magazine and PTC announced the launch of In the Boardroom, a one-of-a-kind monthly electronic newsletter focused on helping business leaders drive innovation and new product development.
Targeted at senior executives in manufacturing, In the Boardroom offers a unique opportunity to learn about the latest strategies directly from leading executives in Europe, Asia and the U.S. In The Boardroom's Virtual Roundtable puts these executives in the middle of spirited debates about how to manage innovation across corporate boundaries and around the globe. Available only to subscribers, these insights on key challenges will include:
• How can innovation be managed profitably?
• How can outsourcing be managed across a supply or value chain?
• How does technology help or hinder the collaboration process?
In the Boardroom is co-produced by PTC.
"IndustryWeek readers have been telling us that innovation and new product development is the key driver for corporate growth," says Teri Mollison, Group Publisher of IndustryWeek. "In the Boardroom will be the perfect resource for manufacturing executives who want high-value information from peers who are successfully managing the challenge of delivering profitable innovation."
Adds James E. Heppelmann, PTC EVP and Chief Product Officer, "Nothing matters more to a company's long-term survival than successful, repeatable innovation. We believe that In the Boardroom will create an easily accessible community committed to benchmarking and sharing best practices in innovation-and speeding new product development at manufacturers around the globe."
Each monthly issue of In the Boardroom will include:
• The Burning Question, which will briefly outline a common innovation challenge facing manufacturers, including human resource, process and technology issues;
• The Virtual Roundtable, in which the executives discuss issues related to The Burning Question and detail specific strategies or initiatives to address it;
• The Resource Center, which will showcase white papers, case studies and more, showing how these strategies and initiatives have worked-and what results readers can expect.
Subscriptions are available on a limited basis to qualified subscribers at http://www.intheboardroom.com/subscribe
IndustryWeek, a Penton Media publication, has an audited circulation of approximately 200,000 senior U.S. manufacturing executives. IndustryWeek informs manufacturing executives of trends, technologies, and manufacturing strategies that drive continuous improvement enterprise-wide.
