Downtown Lunch Dec 1 with Ryan Allen of Harvard Business School

Dec 1, 2021, 5:00 – 6:00 PM

About this event

Companies still launch lots of dud products. Ryan studies this, and how to develop and launch winners. His research speaks to innovators' universal question: If I build it, will they come? Despite best efforts to test and forecast consumer demand, commercializing new innovations is fraught with uncertainty, and most fail.
