PDMA-New ZealandAbout
Effective product innovation practices are critical to New Zealand’s capacity for innovation and global competitiveness.
The timing is right for such an initiative to be established.
- It has a unique focus on product development and innovation management
- It provides opportunities locally and access to international resources
- There is now new thinking and more evidence of the value of product innovation to success and growth.
PDMA-NZ aims to facilitate links between people and organisations that have knowledge and expertise on product innovation. It provides access to the latest international resources to help keep up with new thinking and world-class practices and integrate them into their (and the firm’s) performance for success and growth.
The Product Development and Management Association of New Zealand (PDMA-NZ) is the New Zealand affiliate of the US-based Product Development and Management Association (PDMA).
With over 30 years of experience and some 3,000 members across 24 US chapters and 7 international chapters, the global PDMA network provides excellent professional development, networking and learning opportunities for innovation professionals.
Building on this professional network and global reach, PDMA–NZ is establishing itself as a local organisation on topics of innovation and as a result, is uniquely positioned to help make a significant contribution to product innovation in New Zealand.
