Completed my Product Strategy course from Kellogg. The last few months have been action-packed and inquisitive with insightful learning sessions, assignments, boundaryless and timezone agnostic interactions with Professor Sawhney, Program Leaders, and peers at Kellogg!
Thank you Kellogg Management School for the amazing program and delivery. Enjoyed the classes by Prof. Mohanbir Shawney and all the assignments and webinars. Feel a bit accomplished and happy to share the completion certificate.
Very satisfied to have received high-quality training from Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management and Prof. Mohanbir Sawhney. My gratitude also to all the Program Leaders Team. Enriching experience with highly practical and valuable content focused on the product as a whole and its entire life cycle.
Based on recommendations, I enrolled and finished Product Strategy Certificate from Kellogg. It was quite an undertaking. Learned not only new terminology such as wire framing and MVP development, but also learned to use new tools (Balsamiq, Trello, etc.). I couldn't have asked for a better final assignment than to develop a strategic and product roadmap for Medication Adherence enhancing medical device ALWINE. I had the chance to use the pharmacist and the strategist in me for the assignment. These skills and tools will definitely be put to use for enhancing and developing Clinical Services Products in my current role. Highly recommend Mohanbir Sawhney. He is extremely talented in explaining complex concepts in an effective way using real-life examples.
A few months ago, I realized it's time to expand my education around strategic decision making. Luckily, I received a wonderful recommendation on this excellent product strategy course by Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management. This has been such an enriching and educational experience, and I gained a whole spectrum of new skills that would certainly follow me throughout my career. Now, it's my turn to pass the recommendation. If you're interested in professional education around product strategy - this is a great resource.
On top of the pre-recorded lectures, there were "live" webinars with Prof Sawhney, office hours with very experienced Course Leaders, Tami Reiss, Ray Choi, Juan Tenaillon, Shobhit Chugh , participation in discussion board and recommended readings. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is keen to gain a comprehensive, all-round knowledge of product strategy. I am looking forward to putting what I have learned to use for Foundations.
