Strategies for Enhanced Product Development and Product Profitability
Needed Now More Than Ever

- Sealy, Delphi, Raytheon, Avaya Labs and other leading product innovators to outline strategies
for enhanced product development and product profitability -

BOSTON, MA – February 24, 2009 –Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE:HHS), will host
its annual Product Innovation and Engineering Summit April 29-30th in the heart of the Midwest at
the Marriott on Magnificent Mile, in Chicago, IL. For more information or to register, please visit: http://summits.aberdeen.com/index.php/PIE.html.

Executives from the global manufacturing community will meet and exchange ideas on strategies
and initiatives in this one-of-a-kind executive educational conference. Attendees from Fortune 500
companies ranging from small and mid-sized enterprises will present on the most pressing issues of
the day.

Summit participants will receive valuable research as they engage with Aberdeen’s senior analysts
as well as their peers surrounding effective and profitable product development strategies.
Aberdeen has surveyed thousands of product professionals to outline results and strategies, like the

ones featured in the 2008 Aberdeen Report, where the development of more innovative products
was reported as the top business goal for product development. But just how do organizations
identify the most promising ideas and translate these ideas into successful products? According to

Aberdeen’s January 2009 research report, The Innovator’s Toolbox: Empowering the Next Wave of
Difference Makers, Best-in-Class organizations fuel their innovation engines, in part, by
capitalizing on the following idea/innovation management tools and practices:

• 71 percent of the Best-in-Class capture or document ideas or concepts digitally
• Best-in-Class are nearly 1.5 times more likely than their Industry Average peers to have a standard process in place for selecting ideas or concepts for development
• Best-in-Class take advantage of idea/innovation management tools 35 percent more often
  than their Industry Average peers to improve their ability to innovate

These capabilities enable top performers to meet product launch dates nearly twice as often as
their competitors, and to meet their product revenue targets 80 percent more often. Aberdeen
will bring this research to life, as we host executive presenters from Sealy, Delphi, Raytheon,
Avaya Labs and others who will discuss their successes and challenges as they outline strategies for
enhanced product development and product profitability at the conference.

Confirmed Presenters Include:

• Delphi Corporation - Andrew Brown, Executive Director & Chief Technologist
• Sealy Inc. - Alan Litton, Chief Science Officer, SVP Research & Engineering
• Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems - Lee Silvestre, Vice President of Mission Innovation
• Tyco Healthcare Retail Group (now Covidien) - Don Sheldon, former Vice President of

“Take the plunge: How to become an entrepreneur”

Excerpt - While representing a Dutch industrial design company in Taiwan during the late 1990s, Case Engelen noticed there was an
insurmountable communication gap between designers in the West
and manufacturers in Taiwan.

“I realized that it would be useful to have the designers in Taiwan, so
they could work more losely with the manufacturers,” Engelen said. “That’s what gave me the idea to start a company.”

So five years ago, he took the leap and set up Titoma (提託馬), hiring designers from France, Germany, the UK and the US to work with
local manufacturers on projects developed in the West [...] Read original article »
