I have been traveling for several months interviewing innovators, business leaders, and product development professionals.
Below is the archive of a webinar with AIPMM – my first public discussion of some insights and lessons from the product innovation interviews. This was a blast to do for AIPMM and I got to work with Bay Area product expert Cindy F. Solomon, who hosted the webinar.
Topics covered include:
– Three innovation focus areas:
- customer (examples from a McDonald’s owner/operator)
- process (examples from a software company turnaround guru)
- differentiation (examples from largest independent motorhome manufacturer)
– Importance and influence of culture
– Swimming with the best
The primary responsibilities for an organization are product management and innovation. They deliver value to customers. They're also exciting responsibilities for those properly equipped. That is my job - equipping product managers and innovators.
