Why Attend?

An innovation product strategy is a plan to grow market share or profits through product and service innovation. When looking at innovation strategy, it is important to realize that an effective strategy must correctly inform which job executor, job, and segment to target to achieve the most growth, and which unmet needs to fulfil to help customers get the job done better. Also, when it comes to creating the solution, an innovation strategy must indicate whether a product improvement, or a disruptive or breakthrough innovation approach is best. This course provides participants with a full understanding of product strategies and design thinking approaches to help them come up with products that fit customer requirements and aspirations. Business models will be also examined to make things happen along with customer experience (CX) to validate product innovation initiatives and optimize customer expectations.
