The Global Product Management Talk On Value Co-Creation

Oct. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- San Francisco, CA, USA -  Value Co-Creation not only describes a business management trend of jointly creating products, the term also refers to a change in orientation towards quantifying the customer experience.  Value co-creation is a movement  towards recognizing the perceived value experienced by the customer throughout all interactions with the product, brand and service. Product managers recognize that the value of the customer experience is much more than mere financial transactions. This discussion will uncover how value co-creation can be applied to the successful development of products and services.

Each week, The Global Product Management Talk features an expert guest speaker who asks questions of the participants on Twitter for a Socratic discussion. The speaker and co-hosts broadcast their comments over BlogTalkRadio. The transcript of Tweets and podcast are available after the live event.

Jose Briones will be leading the weekly Global Product Management Talk on Twitter Monday, October 3, 2011 at 4:00 PM Pacific Time, which will be Tuesday, October 4 at 10:00 AM Australian Time.

For the past year, Dr. Briones has been creating a next-generation framework for innovation management based on a spiral approach. The basis for the framework is the different management approaches for disruptive or new-market innovation vs. incremental innovation combined with a controlled iterative approach to the discovery process. This framework has been presented at numerous conferences and webinars to great reviews.

"As a frequent participant in the Global Product Management Talk, as well as other Twitter chats, such as #innochat, I look forward to the participants’ experience in applying value co-creation to the product management process," commented Dr. Briones.

The Global Product Management Talk was conceived by Cindy F. Solomon, a San Francisco Bay Area certified product manager and embraced by Adrienne Tan, founder of brainmates, an Australian product management company, to bring international product managers together with experts in the field.
