This is why Hope Gurion and I have been doing a series on organizational change. In our years as product coaches, we’ve seen how many companies underestimate what’s actually involved in this type of transformation.

Listen to the audio version of this article: [link] Confusing Vision with Strategy For a product vision to be effective, it is best captured by a simple, easy-to-understand statement or slogan. For example, the vision for a presentation tool like Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides might be “inform and inspire people.” What the product vision shouldn’t be, though, is a strategic decision-making framework.

Too many product managers wear busy as a badge of honor. Back-to-back meetings, overflowing calendars, constant context switching. It feels like progress, but it’s often just motion without meaning. A product leader once told me, “You’re not lazy. You’re hijacked.” They weren’t procrastinating. They were reacting all day, every day. By the end of the week, they were exhausted and still no closer to meaningful outcomes.

Average Order Value (AOV) is a widely used metric in Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), but it can be surprisingly deceptive. While the formula itself is simple—summing all order values and dividing by the number of orders—the real challenge lies within the data itself. The problem with averaging AOV is not a “democratic” measure. A single high-spending customer can easily spend 10 or even 100 times more than your average customer.
