| The iHOPe Project brings together a panel of individuals representing some of the best practices of Horizon 2 opportunity management. We know from prior IRI studies that a large percentage of companies struggle to achieve internally consistent decision-making satisfaction for their Horizon 2 opportunities. The panel members bring not only a wealth of practical experience of the ins and outs of dealing with a variety of opportunities, but also have given considerable thought about how to best (or better) manage product development activity in multidisciplinary teams. Horizon 2 initiatives are staged between uncertainty and certainty and require a demanding blend of management and leadership. As Geoffrey Moore argues, the corporation should assign its very best people to Horizon 2 challenges. The panel discussion will be led by Stephanie Hartwig and Scott Mathews, Co-chairs of the iHOPe Project. Questions will be based on the patterns of practices and insights that they learned during a year of research for the project. |
