Product evolution in the post-pandemic era
Product evolution in the post-pandemic era
and embracing the global transformation.
Even though the pandemic is over, it has changed the way we work in a lasting way.
As I reflect on the post-pandemic world, our work environment has undergone a profound transformation. Remote work has evolved from a temporary fix to a permanent solution, altering how we approach collaboration and building great products.
This new way of working and building products has given us many new product opportunities. But it also comes with many challenges. Some of those challenges are related to dispersed teams with varying skill levels, cultures, and working habits. Building a great product team that moves fast while working across different time zones and from home requires new processes, continuous upskilling, and training.
Cybersecurity is another challenge in this shift towards a borderless workforce and global opportunities. When you work globally, you have to delicately balance providing global access while safeguarding data integrity at the edge and complying with local regulations. There is also the challenge of protecting customer identity without sacrificing engagement across every stage of their interactions with the product. Data governance and security are significant components of building a great product now.
That's why at Products That Count, I'm proud we have a global focus on recognizing the best products. Our Quebec and Taiwan Product Awards are the latest two additions to our Product Awards. They celebrate innovation and excellence in their regions, but many nominations are already global teams and products.
Among you, Products That Count’s community of 500,000+ product managers and leaders, there are many examples of great products handling these challenges in unique, innovative, and intelligent ways. I’ve seen examples of artificial intelligence solutions addressing cybersecurity’s most challenging problems I discussed earlier.
If you know such companies and products, please nominate them for our Q2 Product Awards, Quebec Awards, and Taiwan Awards. As we all know, nothing inspires a great product manager and leader more than fellow PMs understanding and recognizing us for our efforts.
Nominate top products in your network today!
