TEI 117: How Pitney Bowes built a Product Management Council

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: I took notice
when Pitney Bowes created a Product Management Council, and I
wanted to learn what they are doing with this council. Anytime an
organization puts a focus on their product development and
management capability, I expect good things to come of it. That’s
because products are the revenue engine of organizations and the
better job we as product managers and innovators can do creating
products that provide customers value, the better it is for our
organization. To find out about this focus that Pitney Bowes has
placed on product, I spoke with Felicia Anderson. She is the Senior
Director of the Product Management Council and Launch Management at
Pitney Bowes. She helps product managers build their skills to
increase product launch success and deliver greater business
impact. In our discussion, you’ll learn: tips for improving the
product management capability of your organization,how to construct
a vision of the product management team, anda simple way to get
started through lunch-and-learn meetings.
