Summary
Steve is an experienced Product/Project Manager who uses best practices to improve product development outcomes and foster innovation. (See process slides below). Steve is open to contract or full time opportunities. He is past normal retirement age but is looking for challenging products that feed his passion to use new technologies to create delightful and successful products or projects that can benefit from his extensive Product Management (PdM) or Project Management (PjM) experience. A Google search of “new product development failure rates” yields results ranging from 30-95%. Lack of PdM or PjM experience is invariably a primary cause. The Project Management Institute (PMI) and the Association of International Product Marketing & Management (AIPMM) develop standards and best practices for their respective professions. These practices are derived from experiences of those who have managed product development projects. Use of these standards & best practices can improve product outcomes. Steve has a PMP certification from PMI and a Certified Product Manager from AIPMM and a wealth of experience from over 25 clients and employers that can help improve product development processes and outcomes.
