Practical tips for product managers facilitating innovation workshops Watch on YouTube TLDR Innovation strategy workshops offer a powerful way to reimagine product roadmaps—if done well. In this episode, I'm interviewing Amy Meginnes, a seasoned innovation workshop facilitator from Philips & Co., who shares a framework for designing, executing, and following through on workshops that deliver real outcomes. From doing pre-work and selecting the right participants to engaging activities, convergence techniques, and post-workshop follow-through, Amy breaks down best practices, common pitfalls, and actionable tips for product leaders aiming to run workshops that truly drive value. Introduction Your next breakthrough product isn't hiding in market research reports or competitor analysis. There's a better way—a well-run innovation strategy workshop. Done right, this workshop can transform your product roadmap, but done poorly, it waste everyone's time and leave teams more frustrated than inspired. You've probably sat through workshops that generated hundreds of sticky notes but zero real outcomes.
