Mackinac Island, MI (PRWeb) March 23, 2007 -- China is moving from "Made in China" to "Made by China".

Innovation management is today's most sought-after skill in Chinese R&D Centers and Corporations. It is essential for changing a "me to" manufacturer to a producer of competitive products.

Research & Development (R&D) leaders in China will now have the chance to learn the latest breakthrough techniques in Systematic Innovation Management. Bart Huthwaite, a leader in systematic R&D innovation, will be available to meet on-site with design leaders in Shanghai the week of June 18, 2007.

"China has emerged as a serious player on the world R&D stage. Hundreds of Global Corporations have ongoing R&D activities in China that require a Systematic Innovation Process. The Innovation CUBE (www.innovationcube.com) protocol is ideally suited to assist these R&D activities."

Huthwaite will be in China to Chair "Product Development Excellence Week 2007". This forum includes a two-day workshop on June 11-12 on how to apply the Innovation CUBE, a systematic, step-by-step, metrics-driven method for leading a project team to a higher level of innovation. The second workshop, on June 14-15, will give R&D leaders a step-by-step methodology for finding, selecting, managing, and measuring an innovative product portfolio. Huthwaite will also chair a one-day conference June 13 on "Managing the Human Side in China-Based Product Development Teams."

China is now the world's third highest investor in R&D, behind the United States and Japan. Recognizing China's growing role, most U.S. large corporations now have R&D centers in China.
