What are the MVP Awards?

In keeping with our focus on achieving R&D value, Management Roundtable believes it is more crucial than ever to recognize the value already contributed by practitioners. While this conference will provide methods, metrics and models, the greatest impact ultimately comes from the people who implement them.

We therefore are proud to establish the First Annual Product Development and R&D Metrics MVP Awards to recognize those who have demonstrated leadership and contributed to the state-of-the-art. The awards are expressly for industry practitioners who have implemented new methods, improved processes, achieved results and then openly shared their knowledge with others. Winners come from all industries, at all levels of the organization – not necessarily superstars, but clearly MVPs.

Winners are selected by Management Roundtable based on recommendations from peers, industry experts and our own observation of performance over the years. We are pleased to honor these dedicated and talented individuals at a special luncheon ceremony and networking reception. Their contribution will also be acknowledged to the winners' senior management and the national press to underscore the importance and value of R&D and product development.


As a final part of the award selection, winners will accept their awards at MRT's 10th Annual Metrics Conference in Chicago. Conference attendance fee is waived for all MVP award winners.

Available Mon-Fri 
9:30am-5pm est
