New York, NY – August 10, 2002 – Sequent Learning Networks opened for business and completed its first two-day professional education class called Fundamentals of Product Management. Sequent Learning Networks’ mission is aimed at improving the expertise of people who create, develop, and manage products and services. “With all the bad news that’s going on with corporations today, businesses should get back to the basics and learn how to improve product profitability,” says Steven Haines, Sequent’s founder and president. He further states that “businesses need to invest now to improve the skill levels of professionals charged with managing products and services, to validate customer and market needs, and to secure those important linkages to its corporate strategy.”
SequentÂ’s holistic approach to product management includes, assessing product feasibility, defining and developing products, launching products, managing product life cycles and managing product portfolios. Its unique product management process teaches people how to become more agile in assessing product ideas, to prioritize these ideas within the context of the corporate strategy, and to quickly bring these products to market.
Amanda Lee, a product manager from Dragoco, a consumer goods ingredients company, who attended the class explained, “the course was awesome…there is nothing like this program… I was able to use this information on my job when I got back to the office.” Sequent’s courses are unique because they cater to all industries and foster shared learning, as the principles of product management are similar across diverse industries.
Haines adds, “In these challenging times, it’s incumbent on product management executives and organization development managers to make sure that their employees have the right skills to do their jobs.” Steve Wojciechowicz, a product manager from Fundtech, agreed saying that, “I came away from the program feeling that the course was worth my investment because of the program’s logical format and its relevancy to help me improve my job performance.”
ItÂ’s critical for product and brand managers, wishing to add more value to their companies, to improve the depth and breadth of their skills. SequentÂ’s belief is that there is no better time than now to understand your customers, your markets, your competitors, and your products.
SequentÂ’s courses are taught in nine cities across the country. This convenience adds tremendous value in a time of travel restrictions and minimizes time away from the office. Sequent also tailors its courses for corporate clients, enabling the course to focus on either their specific industry or company. All of SequentÂ’s training professionals have held corporate positions as product management and development executives, which means that they bring a hands-on approach to their training methodologies.
