Global Product Management Talk

Angelo Firenze, VP BizDev,@ascendle

Today’s high-tech businesses don’t really sell technology anymore. Rather, they use the high-tech innovations they create to disrupt existing mature markets. This means that every business out there, whether a barber shop or the next Facebook, needs to be constantly thinking about and working towards new products and services that positively impact their customers’ lives. This innovation is not optional. Today it is a business imperative as critical to long-term success as having sound finances and good people. Fortunately, High-Tech innovation isn’t as hard to do as you might think. It is rarely the product of an individual genius or a single moment of inspiration. Instead, like anything else worth doing, innovation simply requires a defined goal, and the willingness to pursue it.

Most commonly in the the start up environment we expend enormous energy birthing a vision to life. There is so much on a tactical level required to bring our ideas to fruition that culture tends to be viewed as something that we'll get to later on down the road. Yet, the single most powerful way to birth a vision with impact is to focus on culture from the very beginning.

In Shift: Indigenous Principles for Corporate Change, author Glenn Geffcken offers a culturally based process and path to help move companies from stagnation to change, from mediocrity to innovation, and from disconnection to harmony.

Scott Jackisch, Principal at Globalize Networks, Writer And Futurist, Discusses How Far Into The Cloud Businesses Can Expect To Go And Global Megatrends

Cloud Computing enables organizations to consolidate and share computing resources, eliminates on-site physical hardware, replaces on-site equipment with virtual, non-dedicated machines, unlocks information behind firewalls to enable improved transparency and engagement with end-users. Cloud computing is dramatically accelerating the shift from IT-based products to business-oriented services, however, not all applications and services are well suited to cloud solutions and the cloud does not always provide immediate ROI or lower expenses.

Scott says, "I am eager to share my views on the impact of cloud services on corporate IT with the Global Product Management community.  I look forward to hearing about challenges and opportunities people are seeing as they utilize more cloud based services."

Scott will also address his insights on Global Megatrends and futurist innovations.

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 employees, even those who have been product developers and managers, lack a clear understanding and the frameworks for being successful with innovation.

Chad's new book, "Turning Ideas into Market-Winning Products," is for employees moving into product roles and for existing product professionals who want to excel.  From the book's description…

"Looking for a simple overview of product development and management? Look no further. With this book, new product team members, managers, and innovation professionals will quickly access a concise, easy-to-follow guide that shows how successful teams develop new products that consumers love."

Hemant Elhence, Founder & CEO of Synerzip, will discuss tips and best practices for effectively leveraging offshore/India based software development for fast growing technology companies.

While there is a compelling economic argument to be made for for leveraging offshore/India based software talent, there is significant friction and risk involved. In this discussion, we will share key best practices to reduce or eliminate those friction and risk elements. 

Hemant says, "Global Product Management Talk is a wonderful community of practitioners to exchange ideas and best practices. This exchange of ideas really helps push the state of practice of software product management."
