TEI 082: Design Thinking and Action Learning for product managers

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you episode 082 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: Product management is about change – the change that creating new products involves. Along the way, product managers need to learn about customers and their needs, consider problems from different perspectives, and collaborate with others. A person with deep experience in doing these things and helping groups and organizations identify and push through barriers of innovation is Chuck Appleby. He is a leadership and organization development consultant with over 30 years of management, consulting, and coaching experience in government, industry, and non-profits.

In the interview we discuss two valuable tools for product managers and organizations wishing to solve problems for themselves and customers:

1. Action Learning, and
2. Design Thinking.
