KANSAS CITY, MO — To help commercial baking companies innovate without sacrificing operational efficiencies, Commercial Baking has teamed up with industry expert and consultant Dave Van Laar to launch a new 6-week podcast, Troubleshooting Innovation, sponsored by Reading Bakery Systems.
Each week, beginning May 10, Van Laar shares insight with Joanie Spencer, Commercial Baking editor-in-chief, into some of the most common pain points when it comes to product innovation.
Topics include a trends overview and looking at product development from concept to store shelves; scaling up innovation from the lab to the line; knowledge transfer; troubleshooting the baking curve; and managing data.
“When you have a conversation with Dave Van Laar, you’re guaranteed to learn something,” Spencer said. “I can’t wait to share these conversations with the Commercial Baking audience and impart his wisdom. Innovation is the key to success in our industry, and these episodes will help guide bakers through that process in an entertaining and informative way that only Dave can deliver.”
In the final episode, Van Laar will answer listener questions that have been submitted to info@avantfoodmedia.com.
Troubleshooting Innovation will be available on www.commercialbaking.com and wherever you get your podcasts.
