At Cogent, we’ve helped businesses grow from pre-seed to scale-up and beyond. We’ve partnered with founders, and even founded businesses ourselves. We know what it takes to grow a business at each of those critical early stages. And, instead of keeping that to ourselves, we’ve done what Cogent does best, created something so scaling business can benefit.
High-performing cross-functional teams don’t happen all by themselves – they require work, a focus on empathy and a lot of trust.
Last week I attended the Leading the Product (Digital) Conference. It’s the first time they’ve run a virtual event and I must say, I was very impressed!
The day was based around the ‘7 P’s of Product’: Problem, Purpose, Position, Performance, Price, Promotion and Practice. This set a great base for covering a host of topics ranging from strategy to delivery.
It’s pretty obvious but I’ll say it out loud – the more we understand about a problem, the more likely it is we’ll make better decisions about how to solve it.
I had a question I wanted to answer. Its simplicity actually led to deeper conversations on how we understand our organisation’s competencies.
Stakeholder engagement is an important part of being a product manager – but it can take a while to master. Here’s some of the practical approaches I’ve developed that have helped me manage internal stakeholders.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which our offices stand and we pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
We are inspired by Aboriginal and Torres Strait entrepreneurs, past and present.
