Innovative Problem Solving
This episode features an interview with Akhil Keshap, Sr. Product Manager at eBay.
In this episode, Akhil shares his personal story of coming to the US and its challenges, his unique perspective on what innovation means and looks like, how he and his team approach breaking through analysis paralysis and so much more.
Key Takeaways:
- True innovation is continuing to make incremental changes to your existing core products. If you wait for the perfect solution, it will never come, so you have to build a solution that fits.
- Thinking from an outcome perspective puts your customers in the driver's seat and allows you to see your products through a whole new lens.
- As a PM, you wear multiple hats all the time and you’re not the only one with the ideas. You have to be adaptable and willing to collaborate with your team and partners.
