More and more companies are inviting their employees to participate in company-wide ideation.

The Beatles (they were a pop group for those of you who cut your teeth on Eminem) wrote jangly songs about yellow submarines and walruses. It was the 60s, so I guess you had to be there to understand. They were all about sunny days, happy feelings, a kind of Beach Boys from England with mod outfits and mop top haircuts. They also had that outrageous Sergeant Pepper phase, but I digress.

There's an old marketing adage that you sell the sizzle, not the steak. Sell the benefits, not the features. I wonder, as I watch Super Bowl television ads, how many marketing people have forgotten the basic tenets of their craft. This isn't to say that the ads aren't catchy, funny, endearing and often engrossing. But sometimes the ads are so interesting or so well developed that they neglect to tell us what they are for.

Degrowth, or De-Growth, is from a language perspective an oxymoron. An oxymoron is the combination of two words used together that have, opposite meanings, such as: “absent presence”, “deafening silence”, “deceptively honest” or “unbiased opinion” Oxymorons are used in language to draw attention or to have a dramatic effect or to entertain.

Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

Innovation isn’t a thing in itself. Companies need to meet their growth objectives and innovation is the word experts use to describe the practices and behaviors they think will maximize the likelihood of meeting those growth objectives. Innovation is a catchword phrase that has little to no meaning. Don’t ask about innovation, ask how to meet your business objectives.

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.
