Behavioural Economist and Financial Times columnist Tim Harford gave us a fascinating presentation on why frustration makes us creative, and why we should sometimes embrace the messiness around us at this year’s #mtpcon. Harford began with the story of a 1975 performance by jazz pianist Keith Jarrett at the Cologne Opera House when, as the result of a mix-up by the opera house, Jarrett ended up playing a late-night concert on a piano that was unplayable in the higher registers.

At ProductTank Oslo, Tanuja Gopal showed how we can use the power of influence in our day to day work, drawing on her experience as the Director of Application and Data Services for MIT’s Sloan School of Management, and previously as a serial CIO in government organisations. While product managers have the role of being at the intersection of many functional teams, they often have little formal authority over direct resources (monetary, scheduling, team member, etc.).

As noted in my last post , Sales and Marketing often wonder whether Engineering is sufficiently motivated and engaged. But the symptoms aren’t so obvious to the outbound (and extroverted) part of the company. While sales teams stereotypically rally around contests, talk sports and drink coffee (which is for closers)… development teams may sit silently side-by-side-side most of the day engaging in multiple Slack conversations, taking breaks for air hockey or exchanging giphys , and critiqui

Each week I scour articles, wading through the dogs, and bringing you the best insights to help product managers and innovators be heroes. Use “why does it have to be that way” questions to improve products and services. You know the type of question, like when you go to the grocery store and ask yourself “why is the wait so long to checkout?” When taken seriously, such questions help product managers and innovators think about problems differently.

In my post, Isn't the Corporate Library due for Disruption , I emphasized on the makeover of Corporate Library and how it can help the Company achieve its goals. In this post, I will go a step further and talk about what literature should be a part of the Library. To appreciate the link of literature with the success of the company, we have to look at the mental make-up of the basic resource of company i.e the manpower.

What’s the single key advantage that start-ups consistently hold over big businesses? One which allows them to move faster, and change course quicker than large corporations? It isn’t talent or creativity, and it’s certainly not resources. Start-up nimbleness comes from employee empowerment – a culture where people at all levels of the organization feel free to think, behave, control, and improve their work autonomously.

As more traditional businesses migrate to the cloud, they are quickly discovering what companies who were “born-in-the-cloud" have known for a while: you have to manage customer engagement to drive adoption, retention, and renewal. It's these three elements that led to the inception and growth of the customer success concept, but what exactly is customer success and what role can other service lines play in its execution?

After years of false starts and incremental improvements, 2016 is the year where virtual reality (VR) has finally arrived. Thanks to a combination of advancements in hardware and software, an outpouring of investment, and a massive spike in business and consumer interest, we believe that virtual reality has hit an inflection point that will propel us from the mobile era to the virtual reality/ augmented reality era.

Everyone wants to see the product roadmap. Sales wants to use it to drive bigger deals, engineering wants to know what is coming next to make technology decisions, and other teams want to feel like they are part of a long-term strategy that will take the organization to the next level.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

In this talk I gave at ProductTank London I share some of my personal learnings of scaling mobile teams at XING to a distributed setup with currently 8 teams who contribute in parallel to fortnightly releases of our iOS and Android apps. While some of the topics I address are specific to web-era companies most of them apply to any company that needs to move beyond a single mobile product team.
