It’s designed to ensure that your products don’t just help users but make a measurable impact at every level of the customer’s organization, from the C-suite to the department heads to the front lines.

Brikker (anonymized), a children’s toy manufacturing startup, was like a hamster on a wheel. Going nowhere fast. Their primary product, these adorable little building blocks, had gained some traction but had yet to achieve the explosive growth they’d anticipated. Customer acquisition costs were soaring… Engagement was waning… Investors were worrying… The team knew they needed a strategic pivot and fast, as they estimated they had 6 months of funding left to work with.

A vision distills a lot of content in a few words, like poetry. Like poetry, some people will resonate with it, and others won’t. Work with those who do. A vision is critical to ensuring an organization reaches maximal productivity by keeping its employees aligned and focused on a common goal. Yet, a vision is a thing of few words. Even when combined with a mission (since companies define them differently), most contain fewer than 30 words¹.

For many, it feels like sailing into uncharted waters without a set course, map, or GPS — demanding courage, adaptability, and skill. No wonder new and seasoned product managers hesitate to go all in on product discovery.

How you measure and present performance metrics can really influence how people feel about their progress. It’s the simple choices — whether it’s what you decide to count, how you display it, or how you explain it — that can either motivate people to push forward or make them feel like they’re falling short. A lot of times we focus on consistency. And that’s for good reason — it works.
