Ethical product strategy: The business case you can’t afford to ignore. Most of us feel like we’re good people doing the right things for the right reasons, and at the same time, we know there are organizations in the world that aren’t really living that ethos. So how are all these good people getting tangled up in bad deeds? In this episode of The Product Manager Podcast, Hannah Clark is joined by Samantha Gonzalez—Associate Director of Product Strategy at DockYard, Inc.—to talk about her intriguing journey and her innovative approach to team-building. https://lnkd.in/g3dJpkmv

Well-intentioned products and features can sometimes have unintended negative consequences that violate user privacy, encourage manipulation, or otherwise raise ethical concerns. Matt Hicks explains that product managers need to be aware of major ethical issues like privacy, persuasive design, dark patterns, algorithmic bias, and more. https://lnkd.in/gfyQs_Xs

When you ask people to explain ethics in a few words, many are inclined to quote Uncle Ben talking to Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man): “With great power comes great responsibility.” If you’re a humble product person who doesn’t think you have that much power, you can also think of it as “just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.” Ultimately ethical product management means thinking beyond outcomes and outputs to considering unintended consequences. Meanwhile, in product news, talking about ethics - consider applying AI in healthcare. Notion released charts, Sonos cut staff while trying to fix its app, and Flighty helps you become a more informed traveler.

In an ideal world, your product is so intuitive that every single customer and user could pick up your product and immediately start using it without any help. This is not an ideal world. So we need to find ways to assist folks who need a little help getting started with our product without getting in the way of those who don’t. Falling on either side of that razor’s edge can seriously hamper first impressions of your product. (Clippy, we’re looking at you). Meanwhile, in product news, there are tools to help you build your onboarding, AI can read the manual for you, maybe we need one app to rule them all, and that one app may be SQL.
All aboard!

Remote product management isn’t just about replicating office work from home. It’s about reimagining how we build products, lead teams, and drive innovation when we’re not all in the same room. It requires new skills, new tools, and, often, a new mindset. Mike Belsito dives into what remote product management actually looks like. He explores strategies for building and managing distributed teams, effective communication techniques, and ways to foster collaboration and innovation from afar. https://lnkd.in/debPuj-6

It used to be that the most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a product team was face-to-face conversation. Then 2020 hit. Product teams were forced to work remotely, and they somehow made it work. Now when product teams can work face to face again, many are choosing to continue to work remotely. It does require some changes in their ways of working. Meanwhile in product news, there's a Bee buzzing around your conversation, there’s another way to make a slide deck, Reddit wants cash to train your AI, and Canva just bought its way into the AI world.

You launch solutions, you’re measured by the performance of your solutions, and you even get bonuses for great solutions. So it’s easy to see why you’re tempted to think you should spend most of your time in the solution space. Think again. Once you explore the entire problem space, you’ll find real problems, you’ll know the whole problem, and you’ll be more creative when you transition to the solution space. And if you don’t, well, Sondra Orozco well tell you about her disasters there, too. https://lnkd.in/gSBJJfqM
