Creating winning products

The key to a successful product is a cross-functional team that supports every aspect of the Complete Product Experience (CPE). They understand their role in making the product successful and work towards fulfilling that role.

However, many companies do not understand the concept of a formal product team. Each group operates in a bubble. It may cause multiple difficulties such as:

  • Duplicate processes and tasks.
  • Teams are unwilling to accept others' solutions.
  • Not thinking how one action impacts the whole.
  • Tasks take forever.

This could lead to a product no one really wants.

Strategy alignment

Delays are caused when people are unclear on what is a priority. Value for the company and customers come when you are able to prioritise what is most important.

Product team members become ambassadors of strategy and champion alignment in their functional groups and together.

Product teams are organised around a specific customer need or value, not individual projects.

When problems arise, you can refocus people to the common objective and away from competing interests.

Bringing together a different and diverse group of people from multiple disciplines can lead to creative solutions.

Teams in an organisation have different priorities, causing multiple efforts to happen in parallel.

However, product teams share a purpose, making it easier to resolve bottlenecks or pivot.

Problem solving

People with a different skill set may view a challenge from a new angle and offer solutions you might never have considered.

While few people want to attend a meeting they are not directly involved in, there is value in all groups hearing the same information.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
