What is it about?
Traditionally, design management is connected to product design management. However, the field evolved to the point of being tied to various aspects of an organization, both in the operational and strategic senses. On the other hand, an ever-growing number of products and services we develop have a digital prefix and are made for and on online platforms. This significant migration from the physical to the digital sphere carries specific challenges and demands specific approach to work, particularly in regards to coordination of professionals with diverse skill sets and multidisciplinary teams they make up. This particular approach will be implemented in the course, which will present some of the key aspects of digital product management through an introductory lecture and two workshop sessions.
Until recently, the job of the product manager has been focused on grading market information, creating demands and controlling sales and marketing. Occasionally, the job would have included talking to the consumers in order to find out more about their demands. However, companies that still use that approach are slowly dying out. It is an entirely new game today, revolving around product managers. Today, if your product is mostly digital, you may have to update it a couple of times a day. You have access to a large amount of data, in order to help the decision-making process, while better insight into buyers’ motivation and experience has never been this important. The job of the modern product manager is to find the best direction and establish a quality working environment for everybody involved in the process of product development. It is not an easy or straightforward job – it is of vital importance and demands constant skill building.
The course Digital Product Management will be held in Belgrade from March 8th to 10th, consisting of three sessions (March 8th, 9th and 10th). The opening lecture (March 8th) is free and open to public, while 20 participants will have a chance to attend the entire course. Participation is free of charge, and all the interested can fill out an online application form at: http://bit.ly/2HNYDiX , not later than March 5th at midnight.
The first lecture within the course is open to the public. It is an opening presentation by Jovana Tokić, taking place on Thursday, March 8th at 6 PM at Nova Iskra.
Who is it for?
The course is tailored to designers, entrepreneurs, programming team leaders and representatives of micro-businesses, and more or less to anyone ready to broaden their knowledge in this field.
What's in it for me?
Digital Product Manager (or Product Owner) is one of the most highly-demanded positions in digital economy. Product Managers are basically CEOs of digital products. They understand and articulate demands, set goals, plan and coordinate the development process, launch the products and follow the product life cycle. They are the implementers of ideas in digital business innovation.

MADE IN Residency – Glass: From Heritage to Circular Economy
Irish and Dublin-based artis James Early will join the team od Stanišić Atelier in Sombor for a one-month residency. His work emanates the notion of constructive deconstruction inherit to the artisanry of stained-glass. His work delas with: “wide ranging themes of power, societal imbalances, religion, politics and ultimately, the inhumanity of man. His artworks are a visual meditation and reflection of these themes”.
Through the preparatory stages and conceptualization of this residency stay James and Aleksandra Stanišić established vivid communication and got acquainted with each other’s professional and family history – they both come from a long line of stained-glass makers.
Together they will work on developing a paravane piece influenced and inspired by street art, graphic design, digital art, and heritage objects in Serbia (glass collection from the Museum of Applied Art in Belgrade, street-urban scene, monuments of WWII). The expected result will fuse the digital tools and the hand-made, craft-based execution.
The final piece will be exhibited in the Museum of Applied Art in Belgrade in December 2024.
James Early
James Earley lives and works in Dublin. His artistic practice draws from street art, graphic design and passed down knowledge of stained glass making. His signature is the visual deconstruction of form, carefully constructed in new symmetry and balance. James’s pieces are made through application of digital tools in service of analogue artworks, “he embraces technology to create complex, layered, highly charged compositions”. In 2020 and 2019, he exhibited his work at “VUE, RHA” in Dublin, “Art on Paper” in New York, “Venice Glass Week”, “Seattle Art Fair” and “RHA Annual Exhibition” in Dublin. James was awarded the Business to Arts, Best Use of Creativity in the Community Award in 2019.

Atelier Stanišić
Atelje Stanišić (Stanišić Atelier) is the oldest still operating stained glass workshop in Serbia. Established in 1908 in Sombor by Milan Stanišić, it has for five generations been the home of stained-glass production, decorating buildings in Serbia and abroad. Today, the four-people team in its workshop creates new and restores old works under the mindful eye of Aleksandra Stanišić. Aleksandra’s daughter Ena Borovac seems to be the next in the line of “glass lovers”, knowing the craft and thinking of new understanding of the technique and its possibilities in contemporary terms.
