How to segment customers quickly and effectively to improve products. Presentation given by Dutta Satadip of Market Tools and Brent Harrison of SmokeJumper Strategy at Silicon Valley PCamp10, Mar-12 2010 at Yahoo!.
Introduction
The creation of successful products is essential for companies that want to grow or maintain a competitive advantage. Many organizations lack a clearly defined and understood product strategy.
We will discuss the importance of the AIPMM Product Management Framework (PMF) to define and implement a process to conceive, plan and market your company’s products at each stage of their life cycle. We will identify key activities to align business and product strategy with unmet customer needs to create value for your business.
We will describe the typical product life cycle from concept to launch and through product retirement. We will also discuss why growing organizations need to implement a formal product management process to support their product strategy.
Objectives

Agility In Innovation - Delivering Breakthrough ProductsNils Davis
We at Accept Software, along with some industry analysts like Forrester Research’s Dave West and Roy Wildeman, are seeing a need to reduce product development and delivery risks, and improve quality and market satisfaction, using what they have dubbed “Agile Value Management” – analytically evaluating product tradeoffs not only continuously during execution, as in agile, but from the very start of the product planning process.
In this presentation I talk about some concepts in product planning and agile software development that may be new for you, even if you are already familiar with agile methodologies.
This presentation was given at the AIPMM's Product Management Education Conference on 17 November 2006 in San Jose.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

In this example, the company is performing well but profits

Based on ‘Blue Ocean’ strategy – pursuing new markets not
in existence today (or currently insignificant) rather than
focusing on out-performing the competition. Side effects can
include a major decline in demand for an existing market
e.g. RIM Blackberry phone was previously a phone market
leader and its keyboard imitated until the iPhone came along
with no keyboard at all… Now full glass screens are the norm.
Demand for mobile devices – phones and tablets – now far
higher than for traditional desktop and portable computers. If
your market is redefined, position on all three axis will fall…
