Description
Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you another episode of The Everyday Innovator.
The podcast is all about helping people involved in developing and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers.
Welcome to my first “Everyday Innovator” discussion with a product development professional. For my inaugural interview, I had the pleasure of discussing product development with industrial designer, Darshan Rane, who creates prosthetics for Otto Bock Healthcare. He enjoys creating products that provide an exceptional consumer experience. He has developed products in the fields of healthcare, fitness, and martial arts.
Highlights from the discussion include:
Industrial designers are found in a wide range of organizations beyond Apple and automotive manufacturers. They are involved in all aspects of innovation, from identifying ideas and conducting user research through product development and commercialization.Understand what users need and value by:
observingasking “correct” questions and avoiding assumptions“walking in their shoes”A cradle-to-cradle view is needed when designing a productUnlock the power of open-ended questions by adding “what else”Understand the constraints of the product development project, such as cost objectives, shipping restrictions, reimbursement levels, etc.Only fight with your customers when developing fighting products!and, a bit funny, keep units of measurements clear – there is a big difference between inches and centimeters as a designer!
