Training content and procedure

The product manager continuing education programme ‘The successful product launch’ comprises 3 x 0.5 days of online-live training.

On-Boarding

With the onboarding, you and all other participants will enter the training prepared and with a homogeneous basic knowledge and reference image for effective product management.

  • E-learning modules for all participants for the Product Management Essentials poster of the same name
  • Location of Product Launch in the PM Process Navigator
  • Duration approx. 1h, online and stand-alone

Session 1 Product launch strategy and process

You will learn how to develop a successful product launch strategy with decisive steps and proven processes and how to successfully bring your product to market.

  • Development of the market launch strategy
  • Product launch as a project
  • The project team and delegating tasks
  • Definition of product launch classes

Session 2 Planning a product launch

Learn how to plan a successful product launch by familiarising yourself with the basic steps of strategic planning and success factors,

  • Timing for the launch
  • Priority target groups
  • Internal and external communication strategy

Session 3 Implementation and performance measurement

On the third day, we dive into the practical realisation and implementation of a product launch. You will learn proven methods and practical steps for the effective realisation of your product launch and can apply these directly in the training.

  • Contents of the product launch package
  • Product launch roadmap
  • Involving internal stakeholders and multipliers
  • Measurement of product launch KPIs

The goal: Setting the course for product success and implementing the strategy

The product launch initiates the ‘downstream product management’, i.e. the product marketing process: Now the time has come and the developed product is launched on the market. Even the best product will not achieve the success it deserves if the product launch is not properly prepared, implemented and followed up. Especially with complex products, large sales organisations, multi-level and possibly different sales channels, the development and implementation of an effective market launch strategy is a critical success factor for the product, but often also a real challenge for the product manager. A good product launch creates many advantages:

  • Achievement of planned turnover, sales and earnings targets
  • Efficient use of marketing costs
  • Motivated sales team
  • Clear offer strategy in sales
  • Smooth transition to series production

The target group: For anyone who wants to professionalise their market launch skills

This training is suitable for anyone who wants to optimise and professionalise the market launch of products in the industrial and B2B environment. It addresses the following functions in equal measure:

  • Product Manager
  • Head of Product Management
  • Product Marketing Manager

In in-house training, it can be very useful to invite representatives from the sales and marketing departments to the workshop. Thanks to the different departmental perspectives, interfaces and processes can be defined during the training and questions from all stakeholders can be taken into account.

Your benefit: Deliver confidently and precisely at your next product launch

Our online training courses: interactive and productive

Our online training courses follow the outcome-based training approach. The structure and process are based on specific types of results that are developed in the respective training course. Each participant works interactively on their own panorama whiteboard, which brings together all the content.

This creates a clear overview and enables valuable work results. The results are put into a presentable form during the training, which can later be used for communication with stakeholders in the company. This results in high practical relevance and transfer. The workshop offers a balanced mix of method input and direct application.
