Global Product Management Talk On How Product Management Can Break or Make Your Company

Aug. 27, 2012 - PRLog -- San Francisco - Multiple studies show that products  fail 70% to 90% of the time. Nearly 98% of all patents fail to break even and only 56% of new product introductions achieve their financial goals. Why do products fail? They fail not because they don’t function, but often because they do not address a big enough customer need at a price people will be eager to pay. They were the wrong products to develop --- or the right product, delivered to the wrong customer or positioned to target the wrong need. This talk will explore the vital role of product management and what factors must be present in building insanely great product that are substantially more successful.

David Fradin, President, Digital Enterprises, will speak at the weekly Global Product Management Talk on Monday, August 27, 2012 at the simultaneous times of 4:00 PM Pacific Time, 6 PM CST Chicago, and Tuesday, Aug 28 at 9 AM in Sydney, Australia.
