		<description>Thanks for this post! I work in software development for a healthcare organization, and have been wondering why so many fantastic proJECT managers, coordinators, etc., struggle when they are faced with the product management role. And I think this starts to answer that question -- while project management methodology and coordination/organization can all be learned, product management is a more personal ownership of a solution, and not just a proficiency at carrying out certain processes.</description>

		<description>Chris,

Fascinating post.  I am pleased that my talk resonated with you.  As Steve points out,  it is important to look for both the business and emotional needs of the prospect.  It is also important to identify all of the customers who are impacted by a product (especially in the B2B world).  Most organizations default to the usual suspects and miss an opportunity to connect with others who may be part of the buying process.</description>

		<description>Hi Steve -

Great meeting you, too -- thanks for having us. Definitely a multifaceted topic. Each customer type will need a different value prop -- and even then, there will be different aspects to each customer type that need to be addressed. Fun stuff :)

Can&#039;t wait for the next PCamp!
