The Voice of the Customer public training course is designed for engineers, product managers, product marketers, and market researchers working in the field of new product development. It is ideal for managers considering an in-house training session, new team members who need to get “up to speed,” or those who want to learn “best practices” in gathering the Voice of the Customer for New Product Development. Past participants have been from a variety of industries, including financial services, consumer products and retail, medical devices and pharmaceuticals, industrial products and heavy industry, and software, to name a few. This course emphasizes knowledge-sharing, and participants are encouraged to share their Voice of the Customer challenges.
