Hello world, welcome to the new world.
As product professionals, we are used to struggling along this dichotomy: stay connected to the people outside of our laboratories when we aren’t really connected, in a physical way, to them.
Speaking about remote work, understand our peers’ needs, evaluate and make decisions in a poorly connected environment, creating value for unknown people, drilling for the needs instead of the wants and all others challenges we face those days, we are better prepared to hit the ground running and guide our organizations on the remote way of work. It’s time for us to share our experience and be supportive.
#remoteisfine
Love,
Bogdan

I wondered many times in my career if it would be possible to analytically evaluate a market’s readiness for a new product. So I found a correlation between social hype and market adoption with Gartner’s Hype Cycle and Moore’s Market Adoption Lifecycle. Read more on this insight, conditions for market disruption, and best practices for launching a new product in this article published by Modus Create.
