Bjorskten | bit 7 will provide two of its senior executives, Randy Iliff – director of Strategic Innovation, and Tammy Balzar – director of Growth Marketing Insights, to help lead the conversation.

Product Development Insight

If you receive Medical Device and Diagnostics Industry magazine, you may have already noticed our article in the January 2010 issue:  “Improving the Product Design Process”.  Written by our Director of Strategic Innovation, Randall C. Iliff, the article explores how product design insight can be effectively applied not only to developing great products but also used to significantly improve the design process itself.
