Managing Products to Deliver Solutions

If you only read one “product management” book this year, this should be it. Instead of presenting another spin on how to turn ideas into blockbuster products, Managing Products to Deliver Solutions lets you in on a secret that only the most successful business-to-business (B2B) organizations seem to understand: Product management is more about building multi-product solutions that have higher value to businesses and their customers than it is about building great products for individual users. Product management, marketing and sales veteran John Mansour takes you through 25 business practices that are applicable to any B2B product or service company. Each practice is written in a “how-to” format to help you reorient your approach away from traditional user-focused product management practices and set your teams up to be more proficient at uncovering the top-down business issues that keep executives up at night and delivering high-value solutions that meet those needs. Managing Products to Deliver Solutions gives you 25 solid reasons to manage your products as a portfolio to reap the rewards of emphasizing high-value solutions over great products.
