Just for Fun: Hunter or Gatherer

I've been studying human prehistory recently. (I do things like that.) No surprise, that's all related to hunter and gatherer lifestyles. So I was wondering which I felt I was more like: hunter or gatherer (cuz, well, I'm really not a farmer). The question might be more revealing than it... Continue reading

Paradigm-Shifting Innovation, Asking the Right Questions

A bit of history, but still instructive. Here's the short take: we introduced a device-based speech solution well in advance of Siri that fundamentally changed the way people viewed the use of speech to interact with devices. Situation: I was a product manager/business development type within the Microsoft Advanced Technologies... Continue reading

Operational Excellence -- Root Cause Analysis

Sometimes we overthink solutions. We become convinced that a particular approach is the only approach. We forget to question assumptions openly and honestly. It's very difficult to see this problem when we are deeply involved in it. And once we invest time into an approach, loss aversion, or sometimes just... Continue reading

MOOC Anyone -- Popular Culture and Online Educational Platform Development

This project was so "politically" hot it glowed in the dark. It had been failing for months, bleeding money, and making no progress. It landed in the hands of Promethean and they gave it to me to sort out. It's a long story, and worth a listen. There are a... Continue reading

Democrats are socialists. Democrats want open borders. Answer: they are all widely held beliefs. They are also false. But, they are not 100 percent... Continue reading

A Customer-Led Organization

So you want a "product-led" organization. No wait, a "sales-driven" organization. Hold on, maybe it's a "developer-driven" model. Or perhaps you're in that circle of hell where what's actually happening is the HiPPO led organization. I've seen them all. I've seen them all twice. And I've seen the common patterns...

Google Display -- Data-based Campaign Creation and Analysis

I've included only a few examples of the thousands of ads created for this e-commerce company. I was not responsible for the photos themselves. I used the photos to craft the ads. I, along with my teams, have put together countless ads over the years in support of launch efforts,... Continue reading

A Learning for a Small World Landing Page Example

Since 2011 I've believed it is important for Product Managers to fully understand the marketing process. If your experience includes e-commerce, the transition is very straightforward. Optimizing web experiences is almost identical to optimizing advertising. Employing the two in concert becomes a much more tractable problem. Perhaps more importantly, all... Continue reading

CardTapp Media - Overcoming Wickedly Difficult Positioning Problems

This was a very low-budget product explainer I wrote, managed production, and served as the voice talent. Ahh, the things we do when budgets are tight and imagination is the only thing in surplus. A big part of the problem we faced at CardTapp was that the product we were... Continue reading
