Collaborative Product Development Associates (CPDA) has announced that Christian Verstraete, Hewlett-Packard’s chief technologist for the Manufacturing & Distribution Industries, will make a keynote presentation at PLM Road Map 2011, which will take place at The Inn at St. John’s, outside of Detroit, on October 4-5.

In his keynote presentation, Collaborative Product Development to Reduce Time to Profit, Verstraete will focus on a collaborative approach in the design process to address the challenges of new business approaches, rising product complexity, and increased partner integration. Technologies and platforms exist for enterprises to share information with their suppliers in a secure manner and allow them to work concurrently on the same data. Through several case studies, Verstraete will show how such collaboration can take place, what its limits are and where technology is going.

Verstraete has been a member of HP’s manufacturing team for more than 30 years. He holds responsibility for thought leadership and innovation” scanning industry and technology trends and assessing their mid/longer term effect on emerging MDI business opportunities and how to capitalize on them.
