🎯 Building for Indecisive People: A Product Perspective Ever worked with stakeholders who can’t decide what they want? As product professionals, we often navigate the maze of indecision, tailoring solutions for a wide spectrum of personalities. From those who know everything (and won’t budge) to those who have no clue (but trust you to lead), each type requires a unique strategy. Understanding these categories isn’t just a skill—it’s a superpower. It helps you co-create value, build trust, and turn indecision into clarity. Dive into my latest article to learn how to identify these personas and successfully build for them.

The recent two-day intensive led by Oksana Nosenko was a real breakthrough in understanding the effectiveness of metrics and their impact on product development. This experience significantly enhanced my expertise in selecting and applying the right metrics to drive successful outcomes in product strategy. The intensive impressed with its depth and practical orientation, as the choice of incorrect metrics can have serious consequences and there are no universal solutions. This event not only helped in understanding the selection and calculation of product metrics but also provided valuable practical experience that allowed for the immediate application of the insights gained to real cases. Thank you, Oksana, for yet another high-quality and brilliant product! Your projects always stand out for their high level and are a priceless resource🫶🏻 #ProductMetrics #DataAnalytics #ProductDevelopment #BusinessStrategy #ProfessionalDevelopment #ProductManagement #Leadership #DataDriven #CareerGrowth #OksanaNoseko #SkillsEnhancement

Day 7 Post: Internal vs. External Product Risk 🚨 When building products, not all risks are equal. There are internal risks, like poor team alignment or unclear goals, and external risks, like changing market conditions or customer adoption. 🔑 Key takeaway: The biggest risks are often internal—misalignment within teams or unclear product vision can derail progress faster than external challenges. That’s why having a strong, clear direction is critical. How do you manage internal vs. external risks in your product teams?
