When is a product more than just an idea? And how do you balance priorities while making that idea a reality? Eric offers insights into these questions in his talks.

His most popular guest talks are on “3 Keys to Successful New Products®,” “Managing New Product Development Project Tradeoffs,” and “Creating a Product the Market Wants – Customer Discovery & Product Market Fit.”
