back with a “5 minute Friday” audio edition
key concepts I cover in this snippet:
the importance of having a point of view (PoV)
the misnomer that a refined PoV is “instinct”
the mistake of over-indexing on the insight
user behavior as the foundation of insights
techniques for understanding user behavior
and user behavior is 1 dimension (of 3) you need to craft compelling product vision (which I talk about further in the linked post below in further reading)
I’d love to hear from listeners about their experiences with cross-functional accountability - please chime in via comments👇. And if you enjoyed this post, please consider subscribing.
