But, the wisdom of the Global Product Management Talk community is that they've invited me to explore with you how quickly the world INSIDE of us is changing. We're on the verge of seismic shift in how humans think, communicate, and engage. It's my hope that coming out of our chat on Twitter, we gain some awareness of the implications for business."

Creating Passionate Users w/ Kelly Abbott @kellyabott
Kelly Abbott, President, Co-Founder, 3ones, Inc., Discusses How To Develop Products That Customers Love
Kelly says, "So often the good folks in Product Management work in isolation, plying their trade behind the firewall. Because Product Managers are multi-talented folks, we tend to learn from communities whose focus is UI/UX, Entrepreneurship, Programming or Engineering. Feeling at home in so many places, we forget to talk with each other. I love that the Global Product Management Talk exists so that we can form a community of our own."

Unsucking Product Mgmt & Mrktg w/ Tom Evans @compellingmktr
Tom Evans, Principal at Lûcrum Marketing @compellingmktr
"It's a great honor to participate in a global forum of the product management community. Having been a product manager/product marketer for over 15 yrs, I appreciate the need for a forum like the Global Product Management Talk to discuss issues that we face on a daily basis, but often have no one in our company to speak with about them.”
“I have found that most product management organizations don't have a clear measure of their maturity and health, so in my session with the Global Product Management Talk, I hope to share some ideas that will help product management organizations establish a clear vision for their organization, assess their maturity against that and create a plan to grow and become more effective in delivering globally competitive products and services.”

2/21/12 Battle Against Cryptic Web Content w/ Chris Williams
Chris Williams, @blueferret, Professional Copywriter, Advocates Writing Web Content In A Language People Actually Understand
Chris says, "When asked to address the Global Product Management Talk community, I thought, 'Great idea!' Every stage of the product lifecycle needs content. If content in one stage confuses management (or worse, customers), you've got extra problems. Luckily for all of us, the alternative is easy: Make sure your content is jargon-free & easy to understand. I'm happy to share my thoughts on how to do this!”
