1. Seven things that brilliant product managers do (and how to learn them)

   When you were eight years old, what did you want to be when you grew up? Did you have a dream job in mind? It’s rare to meet a product manager who says that it has always been their dream job. Yet when you get to it, being a product manager is one of the most exciting and rewarding professional roles you could ever embrace. It’s a role where you can take ownership, gain the respect of your colleagues and peers – and lay the foundation for a successful career.

2. How do you innovate with a focus on the market?

   2014 saw the publication of the first edition of Customer Innovation by Professor Marion Debruyne. The second edition, written in collaboration with Professor Koen Tackx, was published last month. “Because things have been busier for me recently and Koen was already making extensive use of Customer Innovation in his lessons, I asked him to come on board,” Marion explains, “and then it became a joint project.” Marion and Koen explain what you can expect from this new publication, which comes highly recommended, even for those who have already read the first edition.
