The state of product management
 Product managers are
the least satisfied jobs in
the top 50 jobs
(glassdoor)
 Confidenceconf
interviewed 900 PM’s,
only 28% love what they
do, the rest are only
somewhat or not
satisfied
 Roadmap.com survey
only 24% of PM’s are
very clear on their
strategy and how it fits in
with the rest of the
company

Why can’t we ship great products?
“When people want new ideas, what they are really
saying is that they can’t execute.”
Sam Trsulow, IDEO team member

Is management helping or hindering?
“To be sure, the fundamental task of management remains
the same: to make people capable of joint performance
through common goals, common values, the right structure,
and the training and development they need to perform and
to respond to change.”
― Peter F. Drucker, The Essential Drucker

Too many organizations mistake
‘smart talk’ for taking useful action
“Jeffrey Pfeffer and I found that many ineffective companies suffer
from this disease, which we call the “smart talk trap.” This a
syndrome where companies hire, reward, and promote people for
sounding smart rather than making sure that smart things are done.
In such organizations, talking somehow becomes an acceptable—
even a preferred— substitute for actually doing anything. Inaction is
bad for any company. But it is especially devastating when
innovation is the goal, because so many ideas need to be tried to
find a few that might work.”
― Robert I. Sutton, Weird Ideas That Work

Too often we create our own barriers
to innovation
People are plenty productive. It's systems that aren't. It's the
process, the methods, the overbearing oversight, the
absence of trust, the incessant checking-in, the lack of
contiguous time, and the red tape that bog things down, not
the people doing the work itself.
-Jason Fried

Fostering co-creation in today’s
modern workplace is hard

Driving Trends
The workplace is changing,
generational change, work-
from-home, globally
distributed teams
In most organizations,
turnover is high, many
people come and go, true
innovation culture is hard to
sustain
Management is often
jumping from theme to
theme, it can be
challenging to get [and
stay] aligned

What if you had a complete platform
for empowering cross-functional
product teams to reach their full
potential and deliver results?

key to responding to
challenges of a

are a key part of our philosophy

We believe that the right tools can facilitate
real change…
"If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don't bother
trying to teach them. Instead, give them a tool, the use of which
will lead to new ways of thinking.”
-R. Buckminster Fuller

Instead of focusing on finding magic
bullets, we need to build better teams
“While many of us spend too much energy searching for the
next great idea, my research shows that we would be better
served by developing the capacity to make ideas happen--a
capacity that endures over time.”
-Scott Belsky, Making Ideas Happen

Find the breakthroughs
“If your goal is innovation, then your role must instead be
to create an environment—a setting, a context, an
organization—where people are willing and able to do the
hard work of innovation themselves: to collaborate, learn
through trial and error, and make integrated decisions.”
― Linda A. Hill, Collective Genius

Focus on identifying and capitalizing
on opportunities
“Staffing the opportunities instead of the problems not only
creates the most effective organization, it also creates
enthusiasm and dedication.”
― Peter F. Drucker, The Effective Executive

Harnessing true empowerment
“Leadership is not about making people do things.
Leadership is about installing a genuine desire in the
hearts and minds of others to take ownership of their
work on a project.”
- Scott Belsky, Making Ideas Happen

Create a community of empowered
AND customer-focused teams
“Great teams are comprised of ordinary people that are
empowered and inspired. They are empowered to solve
hard problems in ways their customers love, yet work for
their business. They are inspired with ideas and
techniques for quickly evaluating those ideas to discover
solutions that work: they are valuable, usable, feasible
and viable.”
--Marty Cagan
