With the economic climate that our country is experiencing today, many companies desire a risk-free approach to product development that will maximize profitability of their innovation initiatives. The upcoming year will challenge us all to meet the requirements of tighter budgets, consumer demands, sustainability efforts, and accelerated project timelines. The drive to streamline the innovation process begins with ideation.
Ideation is a significant phase of new product development that explores possibilities to enhance innovation. It provides quantity and confidence to fuel the process. Ideation uncovers high-potential opportunities early and fast. There are no limits to the imagination when ideation is in full manifestation. Its all about new and not re-hashing the old. A great ideation session can accelerate an innovation program to yield greater results.

Slingshot PDG welcomes David Jackson to the Business Development Team. A Georgia Native, David brings over 15 years of experience in design and sales consulting. In his new role as Manager of New Product Development Programs, David will lead business development efforts for ideation and new product programs for clients.
