TEI 317: Culture, teams, and leadership

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next
episode of... The Everyday Innovator 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:  This
podcast is getting a new name to better align with its purpose of
helping product managers become product masters. That new name is
Product Masters Now. You don’t need to do anything to keep
listening, but I want you to know the name change is coming in a
few weeks, and it will show up in your podcast player not as The
Everyday Innovator but as Product Masters Now. This is another
episode in the series on a product management body of knowledge
curated by the Product Development and Management Association
(PDMA). If you are unfamiliar with PDMA, it is the longest running
volunteer-led professional association for product managers,
existing since 1976. I’ve been publishing this series
every-other-week, starting with episode 307, which was an
introduction to the body of knowledge. Today we cover topics
related to culture, teams, and leadership, which are essential to
forming and maintaining an innovative environment that enables,
encourages, and rewards product management and innovation processes
and practices. Our guest is Dr. Teresa Jurgens-Kowal, founder of
Global NP Solutions, which helps individuals and organizations
learn, adopt, transform, and sustain innovation. Previously, she
worked in R&D, process technology development, and as an
internal innovation expert at ExxonMobil Chemical Company.
