Introduced in the mid-1980s, Stage-Gate® is a gated process that has become the backbone of innovation for many companies. Dr. Bob Cooper has continued to introduce new generations of Stage-Gate® over the years to reflect updated best practices, describing these new generations in each new version of his *“Winning at New Products”* bestselling books.

However, many organizations have failed to keep up. Anyone still using an outdated Stage-Gate® system is stuck in the past, and is missing significant enhancements in relation to:

- the success rate of innovation projects
- the time-to-market of new products
- the motivation within project teams

Beyond Stage-Gate®: Bold Innovation in Record Time dives deep into what’s new in Cooper’s latest edition of Stage-Gate® and what the implications are for your enterprise.
