Session Description

KNOWLEDGE IS EVERYTHING! New product introduction is
important, exciting and can be very profitable for your firm. How-
ever, as products become more complex, it is critical to have a
robust oversight process around new initiatives. Bad products can
produce disastrous consequences, turn away clients and tarnish
your reputation. During this interactive session attendees will learn about a number
of issues around product development oversight including:

When should you be involved?
Who should be part of the process?
What do you need to look for? What is the regulatory guidance on product introduction? How do you develop product during a changing regulatory environment? How do you deal with “pushy” product developers who are “stars” in their own mind?
How do you deal with reputation risk?
What about training?
Is the disclosure adequate?
What is a post implementation review?
