Learning Journey to 3M (12 Nov – 9am to 12pm)

When we think of 3M, most of us would immediately link it with Post-it Notes. But 3M is more than just a Post-it Notes company. To date, the company serves a multitude of consumer and industrial markets and is a market leader in many of these markets, which include electronics, oil and gas, shipbuilding, automotive aftermarket, construction, health care, semiconductor, aerospace, and consumer markets. It has successfully transformed itself from a sandpaper company in the early 1900s to a multi-national conglomerate business today. This process must have involved many product developments, which have resulted in breakthroughs. To achieve breakthroughs is challenging, as it is not the same as merely producing line extensions and incremental improvements to existing products and services. To add to the challenge, the pace of change in today’s markets requires developers to come up with breakthroughs more regularly. So how has 3M managed to cope with such demands? Part of the answer can be found in the process they have developed which enables the generation of breakthrough products and services to be more systemic.

The visit to 3M comprise tour of facilities, sharing of 3M’s New Product Introduction Cycle and interaction with scientists and engineers who are spearheading innovation projects.
