IRVINE, Calif. - March 4, 2003 - The Learning Trust, in partnership with Penn State University and Motorola, Inc., announced a new workshop designed to be an academic tutorial in software-enabled roadmapping techniques. Attendees will learn how to support strategic planning processes by implementing a roadmap repository at their organization. The strategic focus of the workshop is to enable firms to transform the future of their organization and help them achieve higher rates of technology reuse, improved R&D yield and a dramatic savings in their planned investments.
The April 14th Software-Enabled Roadmapping: A Practical Tutorial is the first interactive workshop of several that are planned by The Learning Trust. It will provide attendees a chance to actually create roadmaps in a software system and directly experience an increase in planning and collaboration effectiveness through the use of roadmapping software.
Motorola will provide a venue for the Chicago event at the Galvin Center, located on the Motorola Campus in Schaumburg, Illinois.
Ms. Irene Petrick, Ph. D, will facilitate the workshop and draw on her experience in industry, government and private sector roadmap creation. Dr. Petrick is an Assistant Professor in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Penn State University. Dr. Petrick has 20 years of experience in research and technology management. She currently teaches advanced roadmapping practices in her graduate classes.
The Learning Trust is the primary sponsor of the event and has contributed technology roadmapping software for use by the attendees. "We are very proud to be offering the first roadmapping workshop in the world that focuses on how to create a more productive planning process with software. We have been fortunate to have brought together the practical experience of our clients, which will enable workshop attendees to accelerate their own progress in software-enabled strategic roadmapping," said Carl Dietz, CEO of The Learning Trust.
The workshop will offer an exciting, academic atmosphere with interactive roadmapping exercises and question and answer sessions. Each attendee will learn the essentials of roadmapping and how the process will help them manage uncertainty and risk by creating market, product, and technology alignment across their organizational structure.
