The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD.

 

The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers.

 

About the Episode: One of the frequent topics I am asked about is processes for new product development. Sometimes the topic is approached from the perspective of an innovation framework, which includes how ideas are discovered for product concepts, or it is focused on developing a concept into a product. Both are addressed by the Stage-Gate system. Stage-Gate International, founded by Dr. Scott Edgett and Dr. Robert Cooper, created the Stage-Gate system after researching what successful product teams did that unsuccessful products teams did not do.

To explore Stage-Gate, I interviewed Mitch Kemp. He is the Managing Director of Stage-Gate International for their business in the United States. Mitch is a Stage-Gate practitioner and coach, specializing in enterprise transformation, strategy, and high value results. He has a broad industry background that includes industrial manufacturing, high tech, financial services and government, working with well-recognized companies across the globe.
