“Can your current processes and tools support today’s complexity?” Often asked by today’s leading consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies—few feel confident with their answer. It is well understood that maximizing brand value is a competitive necessity; unfortunately, many companies do not possess the end-to-end capabilities to do so in a consistent and repeatable manner—and in many cases their survival depends on it. This webinar will discuss why companies in the CPG and similar industries (e.g., food and beverage) require an end-to-end and fully connected approach to protecting their brands. Additionally, the webinar will discuss how requirements and lifecycle portfolio management, as well as building out product and innovation platforms, play important roles in a company’s success.

- You will see that enabling a product innovation platform is no longer optional.
