Erdner reflects on how vital it is to balance innovation with the stringent regulations of the healthcare industry and shares the importance of starting with small, manageable ideas in product development, further asserting his passion for helping patients at the core of his work.
Improv comedy taught me valuable lessons about product management, including adopting a "yes, and" culture and the importance of starting with small ideas.
