“Companies are beginning to apply social strategies and technologies to solve business problems beyond traditional marketing and communications. Whether it’s crowdsouring in the front end of innovation (FEI), supporting the product development process internally, or measuring sentiment analysis of in-market products, social product innovation offers real benefits to companies with a practical approach,” said Bill Poston, founding and managing partner at Kalypso. “Kalypso is proud to sponsor the 2011 Social Product Innovation Summit, to give attendees, users, experts and sponsors a platform to share leading practices and learn from each other.”
Kalypso is joined by fellow event sponsors PDMA, Planview, InnovationManagement, Planisware, CA Technologies and Tech-Clarity.
