The imperative for product managers and their teams to be agile, strategically oriented business people is vital to company success. Product managers must contribute to the firm’s transformation, especially with more digital products in the portfolio.
The value proposition for Business Skills for Product Managers is enhanced when key cross-functional team members participate and gain an appreciation for product management and to clarify roles and responsibilities. This fine-tunes the ability to think strategically, prioritize work, act with agility, and make better decisions.
The foundation for this workshop is the Business Acumen Handbook, written by Steven Haines, the “bible” of business acumen used by some of the world’s largest and most prestigious companies.
When training is a building block of your company’s evolution and transformation, you’ll benefit from a partner who can guide you on that journey. Customization projects usually involve an organizational assessment, where competency or other gaps are surfaced. Those gaps are woven into the goals so that a finely-focused training and development program can be developed and deployed. Alternatively, we may work with a designated team of subject matter experts. In this scenario, we review that actual workshop (or workshops) and identify areas that must be aligned with key processes, terminology, or tools. A pilot delivery is used to test and learn before a broad rollout in your organization.
