473: The Mindsets of Breakthrough Innovators

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next
episode of... Product Mastery Now with host Chad McAllister, PhD.
The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and
managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and
STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode:  I am
interviewing speakers at my favorite annual conference for product
managers, the PDMA Inspire Innovation Conference. This discussion
is with Matt Phillips, whose session is titled “The Mindsets of
Breakthrough Innovators.” Matt shared that successful innovators
and entrepreneurs think differently from other people. Further, the
way they think can be learned. Using examples from Pixar, Google,
Netflix and even ultramarathoners, we can learn the secrets to
unlocking innovation as well. Matt will help us. He is the
founder of Phillips & Co., a Chicago-based innovation strategy
firm. This episode is sponsored by PDMA, the Product Development
and Management Association. PDMA is a global community of
professional members whose skills, expertise, and experience power
the most recognized and respected innovative companies in the
world. PDMA is also the longest-running professional association
for product managers, leaders, and innovators, having started in
1976 and contributing research and knowledge to our discipline for
nearly 50 years. I have enjoyed being a member of PDMA for more
than a decade, finding their resources and network very valuable.
