Background resources: http://pack.li/ “For many organizations, traditional product management and marketing practices can only take them so far. I love the conversational format of Global Product Management Talk to get new ideas out there because the dialogue is much more valuable than a one-way monologue that's typical of most web-based communications,” John Mansour founded Proficientz in 2001 after almost 20-years in high technology product management, marketing and sales. Much of his success in those roles can be attributed to extensive operations management in retail, healthcare and software companies. John has experience directing large worldwide teams on domestic and international product and marketing initiatives as well as helping start-up companies launch new products. Questions to be discussed: 1. What are some of the biggest challenges product managers have in making the transition to a portfolio management structure? 2. How do executives typically react to portfolio management as a company-wide discipline? 3. What percentage of product managers transition well into the portfolio manager role? 4. What’s the difference between a vertical and a horizontal portfolio manager? 5. What are some of the big “gotchas” to look out for when structuring a team around portfolio management? 6. What’s the impact of portfolio management on product marketing? Tweet traveled 7400 miles The Global Product Management Talk was conceived by Cindy F. Solomon, a San Francisco Bay Area certified product manager in 2011 when Adrienne Tan, founder of brainmates, an Australian product management company, responded to her tweet to bring international product managers together with experts in the field. The "Global Product Management Talk" was initially conceived as a virtual forum where people who manage products situated globally could interact in real time with product management thought leaders. The Global Product Management Talk raises the bar for what is possible to accomplish in a real time, open platform event on Twitter by encouraging participants to expand their knowledge base with each event, utilize new products in real time as we introduce and beta test various products for participating, enable participants to showcase their knowledge and share resources, and crowdsource educational content for product people to stay apprised of new developments, thinkers, and events in the practice of managing products from inception to market and innovation. The Global Product Management Talk on Twitter, since its inception in February 2011, has had a clear focus on cultivating a community of international hi-tech professionals within product management, product marketing and related professional domains. It is the largest Twitter Chat with this focus in the world, recently generating 449,319 impressions, reaching an audience of 35,703 followers with re-tweets occurring for days and weeks following the hour event. All of the content is available following the event as a mobile app for both Android and iPhone devices.
