If you’ve ever asked yourself, What the biggest difference is between product positioning vs. market positioning?

There are many ingredients involved in successfully building a great product, but fundamentally it all boils down to a series of decisions. And it’s the quality of those decisions – and the speed at which you can make them – that will dictate how fast you can bring value to customers and realize positive impact for your business.

Lately, I joined the executive excellence program by Hoffman-Koffman( I met the fantastic Fred Kofman ). The notion of defining one’s work captured me. When you ask someone what his job is, you will usually get a title and a short description. But, people's real job is to make their company win, meaning that they have to sub-optimize their own goals to optimize the whole system.

While there isn’t a lack of apps to help you collect feedback – the best and most useful course of action is always to start where your users are: in your product.

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.
