TEI 001-Weekly Discussions for Product Managers, Developers, and Innovators

Hi Global Product Management Talk Audience. I am pleased to welcome
you to the first episode of a new podcast for product managers,
developers, and innovators by my friend Chad McAllister.  The
podcast is all about helping people involved in developing and
managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and
STANDOUT from their peers. In this first episode, Chad shared
five topics to introduce the  podcast: 1. How he became
fascinated with product management, development, and innovation and
why he teaches the topics now as an innovation management
professor and product management trainer 2. Why he
is conducting valuable interviews, including how
he started interviewing during a 1-year RV trip 3. Highlights
of some innovation lessons from past interviews 4. What to expect
in the upcoming weekly interviews with professionals that can help
product managers, developers, and innovators 5. A free gift for
listening About the Host, Chad McAllister, PhD I was a boy who
loved to take apart things to see what was inside – what made
something work. Not too much of a stretch that I found a love for
electrical engineering during college. After graduating, I worked
with teams in In small, large, and global companies, including four
start-ups, developing products. Sometimes the products made
customers into raving fans and sometimes it was left to me to pick
up the pieces and figure out what went wrong. In pursuit of best
practices and proven methodologies, I found great value in earning
certifications from several credible professional organizations,
including PMI, PDMA, and AIPMM, as well a PhD in business (focusing
on requirement issues in product development). Today, with 25+
years in hands-on product development, I provide training and
education.
