The Nuts and Bolts of Product Development

Cost: Free

Do you have an idea for a new or updated tangible product that you want to bring to market? This workshop will offer both a theoretical view and practical guide that will enable you to make your dream product a reality. Although the class is heavily concentrated on tangible products that are not software related, some of the steps can also be reproduced for the service industry.

Participants will journey with the instructor through the life of a product, from the idea to market phase. General guidelines will also be given for participants who want to outsource the production of a product.

Topics include:

  • Steps in creating a new product
  • Creating a team of experts
  • Compliance with State and Federal Guidelines
  • Brief Overview of Advertising and Marketing
  • Intellectual Property
