We’re sure you’ll agree that 2019 has been a busy and productive year. From the Prodex Team, we want to wish you a safe and Merry Christmas as you recharge for the New Year.
As we close out a busy year, we wanted to share some of our 2019 news and event highlights with you…
In January 2019 Prodex commenced a project to automate the Stage Gate and Portfolio Management systems for Thailand’s Largest Chemical Company: PTT Global Chemicals.
In this project, the Prodex team deployed a set of 7 discrete Stage Gate processes and a comprehensive set of Portfolio reports which are under-pinned through data exchange with SAP, Sales Force, LIMS and Tableau. The project commenced in February and was completed 8 months later in September, bringing over 400 new users onto the Accolade Platform.
In August 2019, Prodex delivered Innovation Masterclass workshops, bringing the World’s # 1 Innovation Scholar Dr. Robert Cooper to Melbourne, Sydney, Bangkok and Singapore.
Some of our participants included:
- Australian Paper
- Bioceuticals
- Blackmores
- Dulux Group
- Dyson
- Integria Healthcare
- Osotspa
- PepsiCo
- Saputo Dairy
- SCG Chemicals
- Virbac
- Sanitariam
“Thought provoking content delivered in an interesting and relevant way. Came into the event looking for areas of improvement and left with some clear actionable improvements to discuss with senior management. Great use of real-life examples. Excellent!”
Paul Condon
Michael Evans BLACKMORES “A really good 2 days looking at project governance methods from high top level (Stage-Gate) to getting tasks/actions faster in agile. Also, a check in on methods to pick projects and a realignment on our gate meeting experience that needs changing.”
