Building an Actionable Product Strategy
Expert strategist Richard Rumelt says “The kernel of a good strategy consists of three critical elements: A diagnosis that defines the nature of the challenge, a guiding policy for dealing with the challenge and a set of coherent actions designed to carry out the guiding policy.” Building an impactful product strategy that generates significant value for users, that helps shape product vision into reality, that meets the business goals in alignment with the business strategy/model and that drives product teams to generate actionable outcomes is an important skill for a Product Leader.
As a part of this talk, we will discuss the importance of building a product strategy, steps to develop a tangible product strategy, creation of an internal machinery to create and evaluate its success and how it all comes together to sustain product dominance in the short and long-term. We will also look at a live abridged example of product strategy creation to help clarify the concepts and to drive the message home.
