Skills
I'm offering
I'm a specialist in tech-heavy product management, in complex (e.g. regulated) market spaces, with solid time in both B2B and B2C
I solve full scope Product management consultations for organisations with the following challenges:
- Complex technology problems affecting how the product is developing (time to market, features)
- Challenges with balancing bespoke projects for paying customers... versus building a standardised, repeatable product
- Initial business/product launch achieved, but struggling with growth, scale and market fit
- Investigating new product lines, and potential opportunities; and/or declining performance of existing products
- Seeking to launch new/disruptive products from aggregated data sources & platforms
- B2C organisations looking to go B2B or B2B2C (e.g. API or whitelabel/affiliate solutions; ecosystem plays)
- B2B organisations looking to go B2C (e.g. creating direct to consumer channels)
- Considering employing a product manager or CPO, and need guidance on the role and candidate mix
One of my most popular services is a 1-day "lightning session" on product management. This is a day crammed with vital product skills and techniques, as applicable to your unique business challenges. At the end of the day, you are left with a workable product framework, which you can continue to evolve in your own organisation
