The challenges that product development teams and leadership face have to do with more than just technology. Complex medical devices take longer to develop, have bigger teams, and require a wider variety of expertise than developing simpler products.
Is your company struggling with innovation, with missing deadlines, with conflict between departments, or with low team morale in new product development? These issues are not simple to solve.
Hear from a panel of medical device experts about how to address these problems, about the successes and failures that they’ve experienced, and about how to give every product team the best chance for success.

At every growth stage of your business, understanding and protecting your competitive edge is imperative in order to leverage the market and protect your business from competitors. In this webinar, we explored what a competitive edge is and how to strategically use their IP portfolio to protect their business.
Any seasoned engineering manager is likely all too familiar with the 90/10 rule. This development hurdle is one that often plagues projects, and it doesn't matter what type of device you're creating.
Without good project management, crossing the finish line might seem impossible.
So, what is the 90/10 rule?
In simple terms, it's the concept that 90% of the work needed to finish your project will take a mere 10% of the time. But that final 10% push to reach the end? It will eat up 90% of your timeline!
Think of it as an iceberg. If you think the ice you see peaking above the water is daunting, there's a lot more hiding below the surface.
Why does the last 10% create the most challenges?
In this series on developing a hardware product from idea to scale, we begin with the essential but often overlooked Concept & Feasibility phase. This blog explains the concept half of the process, which addresses the customer, competition, and costs of your product.
