EP-179 New Product Development and Introduction - I Need That - Laurier Mandin

In today's episode of the podcast, we have the pleasure of welcoming Laurier Mandin, a distinguished figure in the realm of product innovation. Laurier wears two hats: he is the founder of Graphos, a company that specializes in assisting businesses with product development and launch, and he is the author of the insightful book "I Need That."

Laurier's expertise lies in shepherding new products from the conceptual stage to successful integration into the marketplace. Throughout the episode, he generously shares his wealth of knowledge and experience, providing listeners with actionable insights on how to navigate the complexities of innovation.

One of Laurier's key points that is sure to resonate with aspiring entrepreneurs and seasoned business leaders alike is his assertion that new products need to be significantly superior to existing solutions in order to achieve market success. He believes that a new product should aim to be at least 10 times better than its competitors to truly capture consumer attention and drive adoption. This bold statement underscores the importance of not just incremental improvements, but of groundbreaking innovation that fundamentally transforms the user experience.
