“For me, what makes ANPD different from other organizations is that it’s very focused on my role as an NPD practitioner. ANPD gives me the resources I need to develop in my role and also provides networking opportunities. I use the education matrix, environmental scanning toolkit, and many publications, especially the Scope and Standards of NPD Practice.”
