Developing Innovative Ideas for Product Leaders

For product leaders, creating new new products and improving existing products are imperatives for success. Maturing technologies and aging product portfolios are requiring companies to discover, develop, and deliver products that customers love. This course is focused on the first step of this journey, identifying and evaluating new product opportunities. This course is primarily aimed at professionals who are inspired, or tasked, to develop and lead products. This include aspiring and active product managers, product designers, product developers, and others in the product arena. This course is also valuable to anyone interested in how to developing innovative ideas for new products. We will focus on four important areas to develop and enhance your capabilities as a product leader: • Introducing the skills for identifying and analyzing entrepreneurial ideas for new or improved products; • Examining entrepreneurial thinking within yourself and your colleagues with an awareness of entrepreneurial mindset, entrepreneurial motivations, and entrepreneurial behaviors; • Cultivating seeing entrepreneurially within yourself and your colleagues with attention to industry conditions, industry status, macroeconomic change, and competition; and • Championing acting entrepreneurially within the corporate environment with an understanding of value innovation and opportunity identification.

Really enjoyed this course especially the crisp and clear advice on entreperneurs which is very much relevant for organisation employees who are essentially intrapreneurs too.

It may be old. In my point of view I guess the core concepts are never going to change.

Overall, a very interesting course, though I felt it dealt more with entrepreneurship rather than Product Development or Product Management, though both topics are touched upon lightly.
