Is your organization preventing you from developing successful product ideas?
If you're a product or R&D manager in a company that has successful products in the market, that success might be holding your organization back from innovating. As a product manager, you know that products & buying behaviors are changing rapidly - but the attitudes and behaviors that have made your organization successful in the past might be preventing your best ideas from getting to the market.
...there is a little urgency to innovate
Product innovation is slow, and leadership appears not to have a sense of urgency.
Slow development cycles are causing you to miss market windows and growth opportunities
...product development is reactive
Product strategy is reactive or defensive rather than forward looking.
New products that are very different from existing ones have difficulty being approved or are not developed at all.
...there is a culture of "We know what the customer needs"
Development is technology-driven, focusing on shiny new features, rather than customer needs.
New products aren't adding significant value to your customers' lives, and are failing in the market.
...decisions are not data-driven
There is a culture of relying on anecdotal evidence, old market data and irrational exuberance when evaluating new business ideas.
As a product manager, you have trouble convincing the organization of the business case, and you yourself may be unsure if they will deliver the results you expect
You deserve an ally
An ally for the process.
So you can focus fully on your expertise.
I know how you feel - I been there, done that.

Testimonials
Florian led several online innovation workshops in which I participated. These were the best online workshops I have ever experienced. Florian masters many online tools, is patient, explains the process in a visual and clear way, connects with the whole group, feels the need, creates a lot of energy, and is flexible but never loses sight of the workshop's goal. If you want to achieve great results in a fun and energetic workshop, I can highly recommend Florian as an online facilitator.
Florian is an awesome facilitator. He is technically savvy in doing online facilitation and is able to guide those who were technically challenged. He takes the experiment-reflect-learn-improve way of doing things. Totally unflustered when things do not work exactly how they should go and quickly finds a solution to get back on track. Highly recommend him for any online facilitation workshop.
Our team worked with Florian to master online innovation tools and processes. Florian’s grasp of the concepts and the way to deliver them to the team was superb. He was always available for comment/questions on WhatsApp and also via email. The sessions were always on time, engaging and insightful. Can’t say enough good things about his energy, skills and training. A++
As an innovation facilitator with a lot of experience in product development, Florian is the right address if you want to find the best product ideas.
If you are looking for a fast way to get clarity for your business case, I recommend Florian's Business Case Reality Check.
Florian is very knowledgeable on the topic of innovation, and he has a very structured approach. I would highly recommend his services or any course that he would run.
Florian is probably the best support you can get if you still struggle with what ideas you want to execute.
