Product Design & DevelopmentSaturday, June 1st, 1996November 1994 to June 1996 My tasks were to manage a change from the existing culture to that of a corporate company; to mentor, manage and grow the in-house product development team; to manage the design of products and development of a publishing engine; and to reduce production costs by developing tools and more efficient production processes. The first product, Easy Tutor Learn Windows 95, became the best selling Windows 95 training application for the global consumer market and was awarded a gold award at BIMA. Production costs for further products were reduced by over 75%. I also helped to develop the following products using the publishing engine. The company also serviced clients such as IBM and BPP Accountancy. I was also responsible for prototyping sales tools to help demonstrate interactive product benefits such as one of the very first seat-back interactive consoles for aeroplanes. |
