. About the Speaker: Clark Wilson has spent most of his adult life developing products. This has spanned a diverse range of goods, from winches and locking hubs at Warn Industries, printers at Tektronix, heavy equipment for mining at Atlas Copco Wagner and projectors at InFocus. A keen observer, Clark saw development resources were squandered by not making the right decisions at the right time. To improve things, he spent a lot of time researching, implementing and evolving new product development processes. Clark started Product Development Innovation to help small and rapidly growing companies organize their new product thinking so that resources are effectively deployed. He is focused on pragmatic and scalable techniques that help companies move forward without getting stuck in overly complex processes. For more background, see http://www.pd-innovation.com.
