Key Benefits

By participating in DAMA, you will learn:

• How to decide where to physically design or make a product. How to assess the financial, quality, and/or time-to-market trade-offs.

• Whether to outsource – and to whom.

• How to share key knowledge while protecting intellectual property.

• How to incentivize and build trust among potentially competing organizations — even from different cultures

• How to manage who has access to sensitive information, both technically and politically.

• Which systems and applications to use – especially when working with multiple partners and contractors. How to ensure interoperability.

• How to communicate product definition accurately throughout the supply chain. What tools facilitate visualization and consensus.

• How to make the transition from co-located to distributed. What work patterns must change; how to compensate for lack of "face time."

• How to make sure that a product designed in one country can be made in another. What standards and protocols should be followed.

• How to overcome time and language barriers, as well as system incompatibilities

• How to take advantage of secure, neutral data-sharing zones and net marketplaces.

• About the current capabilities and limitations of technology and the web; the pros and cons of commercial solutions versus homegrown; how "CPC" fits into the bigger IT picture
