Prabhakar Gopalan, Austin's Expert On Strategy, Discusses Ideas On Applications Of Gestalt Perception To Product Strategy; Building Products With The Gestalt Mind w/ @PGopalan
San Francisco - Gestalt is a German word that means a configuration or pattern that cannot be derived from the sum of its parts, but can only be represented by its unified whole. Product management is often caught up in the weeds and in the details of adding one feature or widget. But how do you approach product strategy as a whole? What are some illustrative ideas of Gestalt Product Strategy? How can you and your organization benefit from it? This discussion will be about ideas on Gestalt perception and its applications to managing products and product strategy.
Prabhakar Gopalan, Entrepreneur, Product Guy and Austin, Texas Expert on Strategy, will speak at the weekly Global Product Management Talk on Monday, September 10, 2012 at the simultaneous times of 3:00 PM Pacific Time, 5 PM CST Chicago, and Tuesday, Sept 11 at 8 AM in Sydney, Australia.

Prabhakar says, "The Global Product Management Talk has become the de facto weekly "go-to" digital event to hear thought leaders discussing new ideas and concepts about the emerging profession of product management. It makes perfect sense to apply a theory of perception to the context of managing products."
