A Joint Product Design (JPD) approach is the most efficient and effective means of adapting a product for a foreign market. Product localization requires the input and experience of consumers from a target market as well as the integrated skills of design, engineering, marketing and sales resources.

 

Executives and Marketing managers who want to localize products for foreign markets will find the Joint Product Design (JPD) approach in this product development primer a tremendous asset to their efforts. 

 

Managers will learn:

  • project management principals that clarify the role of the customer in product development;

  • the staff placements instrumental to building a successful transnational product team;

  • and the steps for running Joint Product Design (JPD) sessions to build a broad base of product intelligence and team consensus for successful product introduction in foreign markets.

Based on real-world case studies and years of experience facilitating product design sessions in international, cross-cultural and cross-functional environments.
