Dealing with Difficult Stakeholders: Tips for Product PeopleRoman Pichler
Leading stakeholders and development teams is notoriously challenging for product people: They lack the power to tell the individuals what to do, but need their support to progress the product. To make things worse, stakeholders come from different departments and often have different perspectives and interests, which leads to disagreements and conflicts. This talk shares my tips for dealing with difficult stakeholders, constructively resolving conflict, and creating value together.
The document discusses structuring and scaling product teams. It recommends empowering product people to make strategic product decisions and be responsible for product success. The product teams should be organized around individual products, with a person in charge of each product. There are different scaling approaches depending on whether the focus is on overall product decisions or feature and component decisions. The product people's roles include owning the product and being responsible for its success through collaborating with stakeholders and development teams.

This document discusses using Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) to set goals for product management. It introduces OKRs and provides examples of applying them at different levels, from product vision down to sprint goals. OKRs can help provide consistency when formulating product-related goals and validate that goals are met, though they may lack visualization. Choosing the right goals for a product is more important than the specific goal-setting method used. Involving the right stakeholders helps ensure goals leverage expertise and have support.

Professionals analyze collective knowledge globally to predict popular colors two years in advance. Color forecasting benefits both companies and consumers by allowing companies to plan products that will appeal to consumer tastes and meet expectations, which can improve revenue and customer satisfaction. It also gives consumers access to various products in popular colors. Color forecasting helps companies design complementary product lines using predicted color palettes.
Colgate-Palmolive is poised to launch a new toothbrush called Colgate Precision in the United States. The product manager must recommend positioning, branding, and communication strategies. Tests found Precision to be more effective than competitors. There is debate around whether to emphasize the Colgate or Precision brand name. The product manager must decide whether to market Precision to a niche "super-premium" market or more broadly to gain more revenue. Initial niche marketing could help test demand before broader launch.
Colgate-Palmolive was poised to launch a new toothbrush called Precision in the US. The Precision had bristles of three different lengths that removed 35% more plaque compared to competitors' brushes. Susan Steinberg had to recommend positioning, branding, and communication strategies. Mainstream positioning could gain 10% market share but risk cannibalizing Colgate Plus sales. Niche positioning could command a higher price but reach fewer consumers. The summary recommends initially niche positioning Precision under the Colgate brand to reduce cannibalization, then transitioning to mainstream. It also recommends endorsements, surveys, and increased advertising to promote Precision's plaque-removal benefits.
This document provides an introduction to running lean startups using agile and lean principles. It discusses how startups can fail if they don't get customer feedback through minimum viable products (MVPs). The key is to iteratively build, measure, and learn from customers to reduce risks. Startups should conduct customer interviews to understand problems and validate solutions before building MVPs. They should then measure metrics to determine which features to add or whether to pivot the product based on what customers say, not what founders think customers want. The overall goal is to accelerate sustainable growth through sticky, viral, or paid customer acquisition.

Abstract
In the following paper, the authors will discuss the marketing process of a new green building material made from basic glass wine bottles. The team will discuss how to create a solid marketing plan for the new product with an emphasis on knowing your target audience, tracking and managing the stages, and understanding how our product will be presented to the consumer.
New Product Launch Marketing Plan
Introduction
Our company is in the beginning stages of marketing a new eco-friendly building material, which will consist of recyclable glass wine bottles. Our wine bottles will be made into bricks and filler material to use in the construction of buildings. Although the product is in its concept stage, our team has begun to develop a marketing plan that will determine our target markets interests in the product, how to track the stages of development, the product concept and guarantees, as well as our positioning statement
Target Market
Wine bottles are a product that can be sold to consumers around the world, but before investing in advertising we need to make sure that the target market is interested in investing. Aiming for the right target market will expand our options for potential buyers, customize our market profile, and will help target the right audience.
Demographically, we need to educate ourselves in the industry that would invest in wine bottles as fillers to build landscapes. The fact that “our Government leaders have provided the necessary financial incentives to help businesses to implement a greener environment (Spors, 2012), works to our advantage in producing a green alternative building material. It is our hopes that the reaction we will gain from our new customers is loyalty, based on the idea that they are supporting a company that is eco-friendly. Looking to take our product internationally is also on our priority list, since glass is 100% recyclable, many low-income communities can benefit from materials that can be recycled to produce more of the same product. This inexpensive landfill item is becoming popular in some countries and is being used to build homes, and economically glass wine bottles are an excellent alternative. Reactions of local consumers are greatly influenced by culture, social, personal and psychological factors; In order to expand the wine filler industry, we will need to make sure we understand our customers’ needs and wants.
Managing PLC Stages
Knowing and understanding our target market is the first step, but keeping track of where a product is currently in their life cycle allows for identifying what actions are necessary for the product, price, and promotion and place (aka Fou.

This document outlines a process for developing an effective promotional marketing plan. It discusses defining the target audience, goals, objectives, timeline and budget. It also covers selecting promotional solutions based on their utility, desirability, and ability to generate impressions. Following this process and focusing on the needs of the target audience and goals of the organization will help ensure promotional marketing success.
Why Brand Implementation Should be Centralised - Dhananjay Balodi News Releasemarcus evans Network
The document summarizes an interview with Dhananjay Balodi, Executive Director of Encept Premedia, discussing why brand implementation should be centralized. Balodi believes current packaging approaches are not fully aligned with business goals of brand consistency, cost management, and agility. He states that packaging rollouts are seen as separate design and print processes, with minimal focus on consistent brand execution. An implementation-led approach would view packaging as a continual business process, enabling marketing agility and standardization across product lifecycles. Centralizing all brand implementation responsibilities and reengineering workflows and relationships could help address current inefficient and decentralized approaches.
The document summarizes consumers' top ten requests regarding product packaging based on their desires for packaging. The top requests are: 1) An eye-catching appearance, 2) Creative design, shape, and color, 3) Functionality, 4) Innovation, 5) Sustainable materials like board, 6) Effective communication, 7) Multisensory appeal, 8) Appropriateness for the product, 9) Perceived value, and 10) Additional benefits beyond containing the product. Consumers acknowledge benefits of creative packaging and are willing to pay more for packaging that fulfills these desires.

Label and packaging design is more important than most people think. An impressive packaging design makes your product stand out from other competing brands, attracts prospects and shares details about your product. Above all, it is the first, 'real' touch point with the consumer, and the deciding factor to whether the prospect chooses your brand or not.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
1. When you try to develop a new packaging from the perspective of the
label, you should consider of a certain priority. On this basis, using your
imagination and identifying expectation and then you should find suitable
technology to achieve it.
Clear plan is second to none
Before development of packaging product , the first is to make short-time
desired shelf effect and long-term branding effect clear. It is a wise
choice to develop a long-term business plan that will make time and
money more productive. In general, technology can be superimposed on
each other, thus creates brand story which is creative and resonant.
Both enjoyment and functionality
2. Nowadays the ways to please consumer various,
while you should analyze what the way you take should analyze
specific issues in specific ways. For example, beer or wine
packaging usually creates a humorous effect successfully. The
same way applied in a care product is difficult to follow. In
household care products, it is important to use functionality or
usability design to enhance the using experience. However, it
will be exaggerated in applying to food area. Understanding the
consumption habits of each type of product users, and then try to
get their recognition and love through improving the added
value of product package or lifestyle interesting.
Unique security strategy is essential
Plenty of label technology can be used as entry-level brand protection
initiatives, so patterns, processing effects and printing technology can
provide brand protection by Anti-counterfeiting measure. However, real
brand protection requires a more strategic solution. As brand’s value is
inestimable, it is often based on consumer’s trust to product. Usually, it is
really hard to take the first step to brand protection strategy. Although
many entry-level safeguards do not require costly investment and own
scalability, brand protection is hard to land without both a comprehensive
risk assessment and security strategy.
3. Metallic printing ink is the icing on the cake
Nowadays, metallic printing ink can be applied to more and more printing
processes, and as well the increasing range of substrates. The metallic
printing ink on the shrink label can bear a 25% shrinkage and keep the
original effect of the product.
