We’re continuing to update the highlighted content on kHUB’s landing page. We’ve added a feature to highlight new, relevant, interesting content. This week we’ve shared another article by Dr. Cooper: A Strategy for Adopting AI in NPD. AI is often hailed as a game-changer for new product development (NPD), promising dramatic efficiency gains, faster time-to-market, and superior product outcomes. Yet behind the headlines, adoption tells a different story. While early adopters—mostly large firms with substantial budgets and large IT departments—report transformative results, most organizations are still moving slowly. Dr. Cooper shares data and strategies to address the AI Paradox.

PDMA’s local chapters continue to hold online events. We post the recordings and presentations from the local events on kHUB’s Local Chapter Content - on Demand for you to access and view at your convenience. Check out some recent presentations:
