Lead on Purpose

One of the more difficult tasks for a company is launching new products and initiatives. It’s easier to focus on designing and building products than getting them successfully into the market.

By Jim Semick. We’ve all heard about “strategic” product roadmaps. But what exactly does that mean in practice? A roadmap is a plan for your strategy that maps out the direction of your product. It provides context for your stakeholders and communicates the why behind what you’re building. Ideally, it’s a high-level visual summary that helps product managers get everyone on the same page.

Design languages began with the industrial revolution as a response to the emergence of machine culture and mass production as it encountered traditional artisan aesthetics. These base languages evolved into a set of aesthetics that are expressed today among various design languages. Design Languages by Stefano Caggiano. a design language can be compared to an iceberg: there is its above-water, visible forms–its aesthetic, and a submerged, imperceptible body–that deeper cultural cont

Most companies only set prices after they have developed a product. That is certainly a critical time and it is the most obvious. They have to finalize the price at that moment. However, pricing should be done at many steps during the product development process and throughout the life of the product. Before a company builds a product, hopefully they have a business plan.

I talk with product managers all the time, and always ask whether they are talking directly with end users and target customers. The most frequent response from enterprise product managers is “Of course! I’m on sales calls two or three times a week.” . That’s great, and helps push the current-quarter revenue needle, but is IMHO a terrible way to learn about general customer needs and broader market trends.

A few years ago, I wrote a couple of blog posts about working as a consultant in product management. At that time in London – we’re talking 2011/2012 – it was, dare I say, a bold step to leave a full-time, good product position to go freelance. I’m happy to say that over the past few years, I’ve never once regretted making that move. Five years on, I’m still independent and have had a chance to work on some amazing projects that have given me the opportunity to learn so much and ext

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.

Their products are in high demand by companies such as Amazon who operate the large warehouses that contain thousands of items, each identified by a unique bar code.

In the technology industry, Customer Success Management is a growing practice, alongside the increase in popularity of SaaS (software-as-a-service) as a software licensing and delivery model. As a result, the traditional customer-vendor relationship, which now mostly applies to on-premise solutions, has changed dramatically. In many ways, Customer Success has become synonymous to SaaS.

There are more opportunities to hear about UX (User Experience) today. What I like the most about UX is it opens my eyes to the fact that everything can be a design above our thought. In other words, everything has an effect on any people even if it’s not consciously designed. Going back to marketing thing, we see a lot of promotions in any places. Meaning, promotion speaks aloud.

Datestamp: 11/8/2016. As I write this, the US elections are underway, and one thing that stands out is that the concept of “work” in this country, as well as in the world is changing drastically. Beyond the rhetoric around manufacturing vs. outsourcing, clearly the concept of work and workplace are in flux. The world of my parents, really pre-baby-boomers (I guess that makes them part of “The Greatest Generation”), was simple.

We’ve all been there: two months into a two-week project and the end still isn’t anywhere in sight. Sometimes a good project goes bad, you learn your lesson, and move on. But sometimes the issue is deeper than that, and it’s not a one-off fluke, but an institutional issue that keeps repeating itself. It’s so frustrating to see teams at other companies pull off seemingly unbelievable feats where nothing goes wrong in magical two-week sprints.

Historically when we've thought of convergence in the tech industry, we thought of a variety of technologies merging together, such as voice and data or storage and networking. Hyper-convergence infrastructure is a term used to encompass storage, computing, and virtualization. Stand aside pings and packets, there's a new type of convergence out there.
