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.
