If your career involves any level of contact with an NPD team, you’ll know that it’s a high-pressure job with a lot of tight deadlines, strict workflows and tons of industry jargon. And you might have thought that that was all you needed to know, but on this week’s episode of the Oh For Food’s Sake podcast, we’re here to correct you and deliver some exciting news: our NPD Fundamentals course is back!

We walk you through who this course is for and what you’ll get out of it. We share the benefit of our hindsight and why we would have loved an NPD crash course at the beginning of our food industry careers. You’ll learn what you’ll get out of the NPD course even if you’re not on an NPD team and why it’ll benefit your career and make your company more efficient. Plus we break down the common pain points around NPD and how you can prevent them from happening. It’s every question you had about NPD but never had the time or the courage to ask!

We’d love to see you on our NPD Fundamentals course, which starts very soon!
