Turning Ideas into Market-Winning Products Author Chad McAllister, PhD Launches Book

SAN FRANCISCO - March 21, 2014 - PRLog -- How do ideas become market-winning products? That is the question Chad McAllister, PhD, has explored throughout his 25 year career in product development, management, and innovation. Now, with the economy showing signs of improving, organizations are committing more resources to innovation. This is creating a need for people to move into product roles, but many employees, even those who have been product developers and managers, lack a clear understanding and the frameworks for being successful with innovation.

Chad's new book, "Turning Ideas into Market-Winning Products," is for employees moving into product roles and for existing product professionals who want to excel.  From the book's description…

"Looking for a simple overview of product development and management? Look no further. With this book, new product team members, managers, and innovation professionals will quickly access a concise, easy-to-follow guide that shows how successful teams develop new products that consumers love."

Chad discusses his new book on the Global Product Management Talk broadcast live from studio132.com with host, Cindy F. Solomon, on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 at the simultaneous times of 10:00 AM Pacific Time, 11:00 AM MST Denver, 12:00 Noon CST Chicago, and 1:00 PM EST Boston.

About Chad McAllister
Chad McAllister 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 he found a love for electrical engineering during college. After graduating, he worked with teams in small, large, and startup businesses developing products - new hacks that no one had seen before. Sometimes the products made customers into raving fans and sometimes it was left to him to pick up the pieces and figure out what went wrong. Along the way he returned to school, earning a PhD in business, to deepen his understanding of how to exceed customers' expectations. He is also PMP certified and holds professional product innovation certifications from PDMA and AIPMM. He founded Product Innovation Educators to teach anyone how to turn ideas into products that create raving fans. Oh, and he is currently traveling the US in an RV exploring innovation. http://theeverydayinnovator.com
