Course overview
Product teams often get stuck focusing on outputs and predictable delivery (what and when am I building a thing) instead of outcomes (what will change as a result of building this thing). This leaves out the critical element of making sure you are building the right (most impactful) things in the right way.
Jon's has 25+ years of experience in technology companies from CNN to Google, and has created this course to provide you with a comprehensive set of tools to help you develop impactful products by shifting from output-based thinking to outcome-based thinking. You will deepen your understanding of your customers and their needs as well as identifying and de-risking the different kinds of hypotheses built into your roadmap.
You will also work to understand how your work contributes to your company's strategy. You will learn and apply frameworks to ensure your features solve user problems that drive business impact which connects all the way up to your company's goals.
We will also help you develop successful products by understanding customer needs, identifying opportunities, managing risks, and creating value for customers.
Using a combination of lectures, interactive hands-on exercises, and case studies from Airbnb, Dropbox, Zappos, and more, the course will focus on practical application and provide you with the skills and knowledge necessary to level up and apply these tools in real-world product management scenarios.

Product Management Leader
With more than 25 years of experience, I feel like I've seen it all, having founded startups, turned around companies (or failed to), and led product teams and created products within companies such as Google, CNN, Home Depot, Ford, and Bank of America. I've created products from scratch, launched features to a customer base of over 2 billion active users, and more than doubled revenue for existing products. I've been responsible for growing CNN's breaking news subscribers over 1200% while simultaneously reducing delivery times by 75%. I've held the title of founder, Vice President of Enterprise Product Management, CMO, Director of Product Management, Senior Product Manager, Vice President of Marketing, and Director of Product Marketing. I have a background in the entire company lifecycle from founding to acquisition over my career. I developed products across a number of verticals/industries, including SaaS, telecom, marketing technology, financial services, online media, healthcare, retail, automotive, and public safety. I have coached and mentored hundreds of Product Managers and founders around the world through Google, Techstars, and Georgia Tech.
I am a former chef who became a product management and marketing leader for technology companies. Yeah, it surprised me too :D. I'm also an Atlanta native, where I live with my wife and four children and I hold an MBA from the Goizueta Business School at Emory University, and a Bachelors of Science in Management from Georgia Tech. I'm also on a quest with my wife to run a half marathon in each of the 50 states. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
