(CIMdata: Ann Arbor, MI) -- CIMdata Inc., a leading global PLM (product life cycle management) strategic consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Recovery for a Stalled PLM Initiative—Part 2.” The hour-long webinar will take place Feb. 13, 2025, 11:00 a.m. Eastern.

Implementing a PLM solution is a complex process often marked by unforeseen obstacles. Many initiatives stall, fall short, or fail to deliver the expected benefits. In Part 1 of this webinar series, CIMdata presented practical strategies for identifying, quantifying, and reporting issues that commonly derail PLM implementations. Part 2 will shift the focus and offer strategies and remedies for avoiding problems and recovering from a failing initiative. Learn how to pinpoint issues and articulate them in ways that drive resolution and avoid setbacks.

Those who did not attend the first webinar are welcome to sign up for Part 2. Each webinar has been designed to stand alone.

This webinar will help you:

Discover the root causes of PLM challenges. Gain deep insights into why many PLM initiatives fail to deliver on their promises and struggle to achieve desired outcomes

Recognize and mitigate common failure modes. Learn to identify the typical pitfalls and barriers that hinder PLM initiatives and understand how to address them effectively

Develop proactive communication strategies. Acquire practical tools and techniques to pinpoint key issues and communicate challenges and solutions to stakeholders.

Empower your organization with proven remedies. Explore actionable strategies to resolve issues and overcome failure modes, ensuring a stronger foundation for PLM success.

Tom Gill, CIMdata’s principal consultant and host for this webinar, says, “Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. At CIMdata, we’ve seen many PLM-related mistakes and have incorporated the mitigations into our education material and consulting process best practices. This webinar will review mitigations to many common PLM program issues, helping attendees to learn from the mistakes of others.”

The webinar will be valuable to individuals responsible for defining and managing PLM initiatives, and to PLM solution provider employees responsible for sales, marketing, and implementations.
