Product Thinking with the Product Field

A short introduction to the complexity of product innovation, Product Thinking and the Product Field. (Talk at betahaus Academy, April 2016)

1. Product Thinking With the Product Field
3. Distribution and transaction costs are disappearing. Information is available in abundance. Attention is becoming the scarce resource. Digital changes everything.
5. It’s not enough to improve existing concepts. Production and distribution have to be reconsidered as fundamentally as user needs and business models. Radically new conditions require radically new products.
7. Simple rules and linear processes don’t do it justice. They regularly lead to false assessments, failure and frustration: Product innovation is complex.
