Think Big

Happy Monday everyone! There is a lot going on in the Cleveland Product scene, so let’s get to it!

Article of the Week

Does your organization think big enough? This Fast Company article gives tips on how you can influence big change in your organization. My favorite aspect is “suspending reality” - this gives teams the freedom and permission to think big without being held back by constraints present in the organization today.

Recent Events

We had a great hybrid event last week, thank you to everyone for attending! A special thank you to Colleen Green of VMWare for leading the event and sharing how we Product Managers can be better at marketing our products. My favorite takeaway? Product Managers and Product Marketing need to partner closely to craft the story of how our solutions help customers solve their problems and be better at their jobs.
