The most successful startups I've been around have had REALLY STRONG product leaders (ha! I bet you thought I would say commercial leaders). The one who stands out the most for me (of course, there are others) is Ronald Hildebrandt at Virgin Pulse. In the early days, he was never afraid (he asked for it!) to get on the phone with our customers. He also stayed hyper-aware of what was happening in the market, always one step ahead of everyone else when innovating our product. I learned a lot from Ron and typically immediately start a process where market-facing folks collect and share market feedback with the product team wherever I go. Has this been your experience? Who are some amazing product leaders you have worked with? #startups #productexcellance

You Manage The System — Not People We often overlook the problems in the system (including processes, strategy, resources, ..) and push it onto the team when we fall short. Modern product development teams place a strong emphasis on hiring the "right" people. Why? Because once you have the right team, the focus is on one variable — *System*. This not only helps in getting the full potential of the team but also helps find deeper, and often recurring, problems. #leadership #startups #productdevelopment

Quite right Brandon Barton - if instead of looking at is as a dynamic pricing opportunity, it was framed from the point of view of the customer, then applying all the levers of ‘revenue management’ it could actually be profit & customer experience enhancing simultaneously. Dynamic Pricing is such a small part of the bigger vision of the total opportunity. A comprehensive revenue management program for restaurants considers throughput, guest satisfaction, guest return rate, frequency cycles, basket & bundle optimization and will optimize display systems to influence profitable consumer behavior that also improves the customer experience. The problem with using dynamic pricing in isolation is that it’s the same lever as couponing — it can drive revenue today but in isolation it cues the customer that your value proposition is your price. That’s a commodity strategy - and it’s appropriate for brands that want to compete as commodities.

Product and design leadership demands adaptability and strategic insight as a company scales. In our recent conversation with Dan Dalton, Head of Product and Design at Flock, Dan discussed the importance of tailoring strategies to effectively manage the company's transition from Series A to B. He also underscored the need for strategic clarity and a balance between innovation and focusing on user-centric outcomes. Explore our full conversation with Dan Dalton for his insights on effective strategies during periods of growth and transition below. #product #leadership #headofproduct #startups #growth

Lots of noise on #dynamicpricing in restaurants this week. No hot take here, just some notes. First, dynamic pricing needs a PR makeover. Whoever did the mayo to aioli transformation needs to help dynamic pricing become “revenue management”. As my good friend Michael Lukianoff will say, pricing is one of many levers to optimize revenue. Second, dynamic pricing was never broadly accepted in the reservation space, by consumers or restaurants. I know, I was there. Last, kudos to Wendy’s team who did a bold thing. I’m happy to pull up all the anti-kiosk articles from ‘14-‘17 vs. today where it’s becoming commonplace and essential. Give it some time before all the hot takes pile on. #leadership #startups #foodtech #restauranttech
