Time to hire a Chief Product Officer (CPO)?
Weighing the pros and cons of hiring a CPO at different phases of the company, and some practical alternatives if the timing isnât quite right. In two recent articles, Iâve covered the concept of Companies that âthink productâ and how a solid Chief Product Officer can go a long way in helping any CEO who…

Is alignment overrated?
I donât believe that alignment is overrated but is absolutely true that alignment without understanding is counterproductive. Youâd think youâre aligned, while in reality, everybody is pulling in a different direction. Thatâs why I usually force the understanding and clarity part, by pushing a comparative/trade-off approach. To take your example on aligning on a top…

#frameworks or no #frameworks in Product Management
I still see too many LinkedIn posts and so-called product frameworks telling what you can and cannot do in product organizations.

When âTime to hire becomes the measure of successâ companies kind of lose their North Star, get dazzled by a (wishful) perspective of growth, and stop looking rationally at building on the right foundation. Layoffs are a natural consequence. This is pretty much what…
