What Makes Product Management Different in Life Sciences?

Wednesday August 4th

Summary:

You might think Product Management is the same across industries, yet in Life Sciences and High Tech it can be surprisingly different. This session will contrast the Product Management role in Life Sciences and High Tech. Hear about the surprising differences, unique challenges, and best practices from each industry.

  • What every product manager needs to know about working for start-ups. Contrast of Product Management in a start-up environment in both industries
  • What's more important? Domain Knowledge or Business/Market intelligence. Is it the same in the Life Sciences industry as in High Tech?
  • Use of Social Media – Is Life Sciences ready?
  • What’s required to successfully transition from High Tech to Life Sciences

Join us to hear a perspective on the Product Management role in two differing industries.
