We were trying to catch up and close the timeline gaps SARS has created for an important tech transfer project with a Chinese startup. Will 2024 be better or worse than 2023? You need to have a product strategy. As I said in the past, a product strategy has to make sense to you before you invest anyone else’s work in it.

Every now and then, early-stage founders approach me to hear about their product idea and give them feedback. But in product management that is never true. Just having the tool in front of you won’t do that.

Here are three levels — each relevant to a different stage in your career and your product.

A generic segmentation like “startups of 50–100 people” is not good enough for two reasons. For example, my strategic consulting clients usually need me when they realize they have a product strategy problem (even if they don’t call it that way). The first is that organizations don’t have problems, people do. It’s pivot time.

It’s nearly impossible to do, and even if you can do it, in most cases your startup won’t survive the time it would take in order to see its fruits. Many startups fall into this category. Many blue-ocean startups start here. It’s all about what you want to educate them on.

For a company that’s trying to retain customers, making the product easier to use and more efficient is likely a priority and therefore, warrants a focus on UX.
