Qatar Research, Development, and Innovation (QRDI) Council, in collaboration with Qatar Development Bank (QDB), has concluded yet another Strategic Product Management Bootcamp, designed for entrepreneurs as well as small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Aysha Abdulhameed al-Mudahka, RDI programme director at QRDI Council said: “Empowering Qatar's entrepreneurs and SMEs is central to our mission. Through the promotion of innovation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing, we are actively building a robust and competitive SME ecosystem enriched with a diverse pool of RDI talent. This training programme aligns seamlessly with our strategic approach towards National Vision 2030, underscoring QRDI Council's dedication to cultivating a sustainable, innovation-driven future and positioning Qatar as a global leader in research, development, and innovation.”
The programme provided valuable insights and featured compelling stories from guest speakers and entrepreneurs, who shared the challenges of their paths to success. Highlights included Wisam Costandi, founder and CEO of EMMA, and Reema al-Kuwari, founder and CEO of Adeer, both of whom shared expert advice and strategic approaches to achieving a successful business. Al-Kuwari is also a graduate of a past Strategic Product Management Bootcamp, adding further depth to her expertise and perspective.
Over the course of five days, participants engaged in a range of interactive activities, starting with an in-depth exploration of the 5D framework through advanced market research techniques. They learned to identify different types of business roadmap and participated in focused sessions on customer engagement and product launch preparation.
These sessions covered every aspect of the launch process, from creating a launch plan and addressing potential delays to managing stakeholder expectations. On the final day, participants presented pitches of their final propositions, showcasing the key insights and skills they had acquired throughout the training.
