Dr. Jim Anderson Speaks, Trains, Coaches, and Provides Consulting To Help People Become Great Product Managers
Welcome to the premier blog for learning how to develop, launch, and manage wildly successful products.
Dr. Jim Anderson is known as the “Billion Dollar Product Manager” because the products that he’s manged have produced over US$1B in revenue.
In reaching this goal, he has truly been there / done that. He has been a product manager for individual products at small start-ups as well as entire products lines for some of the world’s largest IT shops.
The same successful product management techniques can be made to work in both environments. In over 20 years of managing IT products and solutions, Dr. Anderson has implemented best practices for managing products at some of the world’s largest IT firms: Boeing, Siemens, Alcatel, and Verizon.
Coupled with his practical, real-world experience he’s created a proven strategy for streamlining the development of IT products. Dr. Anderson realizes that for a product’s sales to be successful, it takes an entire company working together, not different departments working separately. Making this happen is the real challenge that Product Managers face.
The Accidental Product Manager blog is a publication of Blue Elephant Consulting. Blue Elephant Consulting uses our unique product management evaluation tools to show technical professionals, product management departments, and professional associations located in the United States how to evaluate the effectiveness of their current product management system, determine what needs to be improved, and then provides proprietary speaking, consulting, group conference call coaching, and digital training products and services to help implement these changes.
