Radical Product Thinking: The New Mindset for Innovating Smarter — Productized Podcast with Radhika Dutt
Recently we’ve had the great pleasure of chatting with Radhika Dutt about her new book, and we’d like to tell you about it.
Radhika Dutt is an entrepreneur and product leader who has participated in four acquisitions as a result of the products she built; two of these were companies she founded. She currently advises organizations from high-tech startups to government agencies on product thinking. She’s the author of Radical Product Thinking that just came out — the book gives readers a systematic approach for building successful products that bring about the change we want to see in the world. Radhika graduated from MIT with an SB and M.Eng in Electrical Engineering and speaks nine languages while learning her tenth.
What does it mean Radical Product Thinking?
“Radical Product Thinking means being inspired by a change you want to bring to the world and thinking about your product comprehensively as a mechanism for creating that change. We’ve designed our Radical Product Tool Kit as a clear, repeatable methodology for creating game-changing products — step by step from envisioning a change to translating your vision into daily activities to delivering a final product. RPT will also give your team a shared language that makes communication easier and helps you bring others on your journey.”
*This episode is divided into two parts: a presentation of the book by the author and a final interview guided by André Marquet.
