The Pulse of Productization
A collection of news, insights, and product leaders we admire
As you embark on your productization journey, you're likely to encounter some familiar roadblocks – first, the need to quickly demonstrate value, and second, overcoming internal resistance to change. But here’s the good news: the secret weapon to generating ‘quick wins’ to overcoming these challenges lies in a focused approach to learning.
We often hear from customers starting on their productization journey:
“Can we productize without a significant investment in technology?”
The short answer is yes, absolutely. Do not make building a technology solution a blocker to starting your productization journey.
“There was this assumption that we could just hand the new product over to the sales team and they will sell it because ‘it's new, it'll be exciting!’ That's not the way it worked.
Talking to customers is essential for successful product innovation.
Innovation. Productization. Tech-Enablement. Digitization. AI.
The Vecteris team is excited to announce the launch of the Productize Pathway® Solution, our new offering that is designed to power your success in productization transformation and growth.
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is helping people overcome fear. I help clients overcome the fear of uncertainty as they try to innovate and develop new products. I work with my team to overcome the fear of not being liked when they have to deliver unpleasant market feedback to a client. And my co-founder and I talk a lot about our own fears of failure as we try to grow, but also protect, our business.
I’ve also watched brave colleagues, friends and family stare down fears when the stakes are much higher - a cancer diagnosis or a sick child, for example. And I think of their ‘fearlessness’ when my smaller work-related fears can feel all-consuming.
This summer, I had the opportunity to practice fearlessness in a new way. On August 3, I summited Mount Kilimanjaro with my 16 year-old son, David.
My recent executive conversations have a common theme - speed. Specifically, they all want their teams to move faster.
