Product Strategy for Corporate Innovators

Strategy goes beyond the ivory tower; we believe in the inclusiveness of strategy and that members of the project team need to be well-versed in strategy for product development.

We are offering a workshop on Strategy for Corporate Innovators.   Topics covered in the workshop include;  the major components of an adaptable strategy (enterprise/business/product); including but not limited to innovation strategies, business models, roadmaps, and developing a strategic framework for the environment you’re operating in.

This is a corporate workshop for both the project and the leadership team. We provide tools and frameworks so the team receives the immediate benefits of having an adaptable strategy:  speed, less politics, product-market fit, higher product success, and a common product development direction/goals/vision.   The team learns how they can contribute to one of the most important parts of the product development system: Strategy.

Why a strategy to drive product development?

 …organizations that have well-defined strategies: CLARITY

  • Exude a sense of purpose and clarity
  • Better ideas, since you know your products/categories/competitors/external forces/customers
  • SPEED: Decisions are made rapidly without extensive debate and politicking because the goals are clear for all members of the team (executive and project team)
  • Alignment between business, innovation and product strategies helps to ensure that the most valuable projects are chosen
  • Optimized resource allocation

…organizations without a strategy: CHAOS

 Chaos reigns over the entire organization as the various functions try to cope with different agendas

  • Wasted time debating which projects should be pursued
  • Product managers are forced to develop their product line and category strategies in a vacuum, trying to infer the direction of the organization
  • Projects are preempted as new priorities become urgent
  • Resources are not allocated to the most valuable projects, or are wasted on unnecessary or unprofitable projects
