What we’re all about…
I’m proud to be speaking at the Business of Software conference on Nov 11, 2009 on how Innovation Games® and collaborative play can create breakthrough products and services. I’m proud because I’ve long admired Joel Spolsky’s work. He’s insightful, articulate, passionate, and, while I don’t always agree with everything he writes, I’m always glad that I read it.
Joel’s latest post, Figuring out what your company is all about is just awesome. He references another of my favorite bloggers and authors, Kathy Sierra, who, as Joel describes, challenges us to explain our mission in the in the form, “We help $TYPE_OF_PERSON be awesome at $THING”.
Here at Enthiosys, we can answer that simply and directly: We help Product Managers be awesome at Agile Product Management.
When we focus on our Innovation Games practice area, we find that who we help and how we help them be awesome becomes even richer.
- Innovation Games help sales teams develop the deep customer relationships that result in sustainable, mutually beneficial transactions.
- Innovation Games help strategic planning teams develop their strategy, and then the games help these teams negotiate and select the projects that align most effectively to the firms strategy.
- Innovation Games help corporate leaders who want to engage their global workforcein tackling the issues that are challenging us all through serious, collaborative play.
- Innovation Games help market researchers generate the insights that result in breakthrough products and services.
- Innovation Games help product teams create richer, more accurate project plans, improve their development processes, and manage the evolution of their products and services.
Whew! That’s a lot! Stay tuned, because we’ll be expanding on how our games accomplish all of these things over the next few months.
