Together, we have already carried out numerous successful consortium benchmarking studies in recent years on topics such as ‘Digital Product Development’, ‘Industry 4.0 in R&D’, ‘Agile Product Development’, ‘Managing Sustainable Innovations’ and ‘AI-driven Product Development’. We would particularly like to build on the findings of the latter study and work with our partners to determine how AI pilot projects can be successfully developed into an established part of product development.
