How do ideas become market-winning products?
That is the question Chad McAllister, PhD, has explored throughout his 25 year career in product development, management, and innovation. Now, with the economy showing signs of improving, organizations are committing more resources to innovation. This is creating a need for people to move into product roles, but many professionals, even those who have been product developers and managers, are unprepared to deal with the challenges of innovation.
About the Speaker:
Chad McAllister is an author and professor of innovation leadership. He earned a PhD in business to deepen his understanding of how to exceed customers' expectations. He is also PMP certified and holds professional product innovation certifications from PDMA and AIPMM. He founded Product Innovation Educators to teach anyone how to turn ideas into products that create raving fans.
He's currently traveling the US in an RV exploring innovation.
** Note:
"Turning Ideas into Market-Winning Products" is for product professionals moving into leadership roles and for product leaders who want to excel.

PRODUCT MANAGEMENT: MATTERS, BIG TIME

Marketing and innovation produce results;
all the rest are costs.”
