Lean Product & Process Development … The Leading Edge of Lean The non-profit Lean Product & Process Development Exchange has become one of the world’s most impressive gatherings of lean product and process development proponents. It boasts a notable list of companies represented by presenters and participants. Many of lean and lean product development’s most recognized thought leaders, authors, and practitioners create an event full of Learning, Networking, and Planning opportunities. Learning Think incubator. More learning is accomplished during 2 or 3 days at this conference than in many months of reading books, classes, and self-paced learning. Learn from more than a dozen companies actively engaged in their own lean product development journeys. What worked? And more importantly, what didn’t, and why? Networking Closely tied to learning are the networking opportunities at the Exchange. You’ll leave with a new set of contacts fostered through interactions with your peers. This network will prove valuable long after the Exchange has ended as you share ideas, best practices, and benchmarking once you return to your office. Ample time is given to networking and thought sharing through “Open Space” discussions, evening Reception, breaks, and down-time.

Insights from Fellow LPPDE Participant Mats Ramkvist R&D Manager ABB AB | PPTR/DT Sweden When asked to provide thoughts on his LPPDE-Europe Exchange experience (with hopes of encouraging his peers in North America to attend the September event) this is what one Conference participant had to say... "As I am the one responsible for challenging our organization to adapt lean innovation thinking. The biggest benefits for me was the good ideas, energy and inspiration to continue my work implementing lean product development locally and globally within our product group. The Exchange of experiences in lean product development (among conference participants) gave me more courage to take the next step. It was also really interesting to hear that many of the challenges that other companies are facing are the same as my challenges. This provides me with some ease of mind. The most powerful insight was that lean is actually all about continuous learning and it's up to me and my team to learn as much as possible every day." - Mats Ramkvist
