"We need to hit our numbers!"  "We can't afford to focus on user experience right now" This mindset is a recipe for disaster…….  Here's why:  User experience and financial goals aren't enemies .... they're partners in a virtuous cycle! Great user experience: → More engaged users → More habitual customers → Better monetization opportunities → Stronger financial performance → Resources to further improve user experience It's not about choosing one over the other. It's about aligning your team to work on both simultaneously.  In my experience leading product teams, this approach has consistently led to sustainable growth and profitability.  What's your take?

Looking to build great products? Start with team structure. As a Chief Product Officer, I never expected that much of my focus would be on structuring my team. But what I discovered was that how my team was structured played a pivotal role in shaping the quality of our products. Structuring your team around the user journey is a game-changer. It unlocks cross-functional collaboration between teams, while keeping a consistent focus on customer needs and pain points. Here’s how it works: - Map out your user journey - Define the product touchpoints at each stage - Assign cross-functional teams to each touchpoint This ensures that every aspect of your product is designed and delivered with the user in mind. But it's not just about the end product. This structure also facilitates quick iteration and problem-solving, leading to better customer experiences and stronger business outcomes. So if you're struggling with product management, take a step back and focus on team structure. The benefits will be exponential.

Products don't just solve problems—they reshape culture. But how does a solution like AirPods transform from "no more tangled wires" into redefining how we experience the world? 🎧 I've uncovered a fascinating pattern: The Three Waves of Product Impact 1. Solution → Adoption • Solving immediate problems • Creating clear utility 2. Adoption → Behavior • Reshaping daily habits • Creating new social signals 3. Behavior → Culture • Transforming collective experience • Redefining boundaries The key? These waves aren't random—they're forces we can design for intentionally. 🔗👇 Link to full free post in comments. #ProductStrategy #Innovation #ProductDesign #UserExperience #ProductManagement 🤝 Follow me, Rohan Dehal, for more insights on product, strategy, and innovation. ♻️ Did this spark new ideas?

Baby it’s cold outside ☃️ Happy new year 🎉 After a well earned rest I’m back, back to creating excellent experiences, amazing products and getting ready to launch zally® to the world. After building and setting foundations, it’s a lot, and a lot of changes - thanks to feedback, research and data. Most people hate change, I love and hate it too! Change is a constant though, so you need to be able to change, learn and adapt. Change is not always a bad thing, it’s massive learning, a chance to reset and refine, take what you’ve done and remove the bad stuff, keep the good stuff and simplify the rest. Change is listening to people, listening to your customers, listening to your teams, listening and reviewing your metrics. What’s working and what’s not? If things are not working change them. Make them better or scrap them entirely. This is easier said than done, do little experiments to change how you do things - do these work? Do people like them? Most importantly, if you’re planning on change - get teams and customers involved, make everyone a part of the change. Only then will that change be loved and not hated. 🌈 #change #leadership #development #experience #ux

Diversity in product development fuels innovation by bringing varied perspectives to the table. Inclusive teams create solutions that resonate with BROADER AUDIENCES, address UNIQUE NEEDS, and IMPROVE overall USER SATISFACTION. Embracing diversity leads to more thoughtful, effective, and impactful products. #ProductDevelopment #DiversityAndInclusion #Innovation

A New Vision for 2025: Transitioning to Tech After years of leading businesses, managing teams, and mastering customer experience, I realized my passion lies in technology, digital innovation, and product development. The skills I’ve cultivated—strategic leadership, branding, data-driven decision-making, and UX optimization—are highly transferable, and I’m now transitioning into tech, where I can apply my expertise to build scalable, impactful solutions. With a deep understanding of customer behavior, digital ecosystems, and operations, I now focus on leveraging technology to create meaningful business solutions that drive innovation. I’m excited for this next chapter, bridging customer strategies with tech. Let’s connect! 🚀

Envisioning success starts with crafting a compelling product vision! 🌟 Whether you're redesigning an airport experience or improving a daily-use app, a strong vision demonstrates your ability to think strategically and inspire teams. Highlight the why behind your solutions, align it with user needs, and showcase its long-term impact. 🌍 In PM interviews, this sets you apart as a visionary leader, not just a problem-solver. Use storytelling to paint a vivid picture, connect emotionally, and leave a lasting impression. 🚀 Remember, a great product vision is aspirational yet achievable, balancing creativity with practicality. So, next time you're in the hot seat, think big, think bold, and think about the future you're building! 💡 Fuel your curiosity! Follow Growjunction for more content.

There are 3 pillars most projects fail with before they launch. 1. Product. 2. Team. 3. Visuals. If you're missing one of these pillars you'll most likely fail. Don't focus on user acquisition or going mass market until these 3 are fixed, just focus on the fundamentals.

You’ve got ambitious goals, a brilliant team, and endless ideas, but somewhere along the way, things aren’t quite clicking. Projects stall, priorities clash, and those big-picture wins feel just out of reach. 🎯 Does this sound like you? What if the real problem isn’t your team’s talent or your goals—but something deeper? I’ve been working on something that could change the game entirely. A fresh approach that empowers teams to move forward confidently, align around shared priorities, and deliver results that actually matter. ✨ Curious? Stick around—I’m about to share something exciting that could be the missing piece your team has been searching for. 👀 Stay tuned. 💡 #StrategicAlignment #ProductStrategy #Growth #UX #Product #Leadership
