My writing today is all about connections. First: literally connected products. I want to highly recommend some brand new research produced by the Capgemini Research Institute. It's all about connected consumer products, with some big insights for PMs. Did you know that 65% of consumers want a single interface for all their connected products? Thus the onus is on PMs to create a smooth and user-friendly experience, regardless of the platform or system. Congrats to our partners at Capgemini on this useful research! Read it for free here.
Second, I want to share a truly inspiring LinkedIn post by new Mighty Capital Product Executive in Residence Ryan Haddad. Titled "Why I joined Mighty Capital," Ryan explains, "My path as a former Product Manager has always been intertwined with fostering impactful connections."
Whether you are fostering strong connections as a PM, or building amazing connected products, I hope you all have a connected 2024. Click the link below to get the free Capgemini research. It's truly enlightening, and well worth a read.
