Moving Off Medium

A note to all my followers. First thank you for following, clapping, commenting, and sharing my articles. I truly appreciate the support and have learned a lot from the things people told me here. Second, I’m no longer going to share new articles on Medium. Instead my articles will be published exclusively on my free newsletter and blog. The best way to stay current is to subscribe to my newsletter, where I publish new articles monthly (members also get the occasional freebie ebook or template).

Idea Validation — Much More Than Just A/B Experiments

Here are a few important things to know about product ideas: 1) the vast majority of ideas lead to no measurable improvements in business results or value-to-customer (some actually cause negative results) 2) No one, no matter how senior or experienced, can predict which ideas will work and which won’t — there are just too many unknowns. 3) Most companies use weak heuristics, opinions and archaic decision processes to place bets on a handful of unproven ideas. I’d argue that this is by far the biggest source of waste in the industry.

5 Ways Your Company May Be Misusing OKRs

Since their invention at Intel in the late 1970s, Objectives and Key Results have amassed a huge following.
