Some people will be more strict, others more lenient. Some of us are naturally optimistic, others are cynics. A family squabble in the morning can affect the choices we make all day. So it’s not unreasonable to want to improve quality and reduce variance in our decision making by taking a more algorithmic approach by offering clea

I met with a leader a few days ago who wanted to chat to me because she felt stuck. I was happy to do so because we all get stuck in our thinking from time to time. But this begs the question: What do we mean by stuck? It means that we are going around in circles and we cannot see a way forward. We tend to go over the same ground again and again.

People often aren’t conscious of their needs or how to address them. This explains why we buy a lot of things we don’t need. Because of this, if one wants to create value in the world, it’s up to product managers to understand needs.
