For so many reasons, it is an exciting time at Products That Count.
First, let me remind you of this: Due to the overwhelming response of nominations for the Q1 Product Awards, we extended the nomination deadline to February 14th. I hope this encourages you to take advantage of getting your nominations in before it’s too late!
And now, for an important announcement that I know you will not want to miss.
Drumroll, please… The 2024 CPO Awards nominations officially open today!
Each year, our independent Advisory Board selects the top Chief Product Officers in the world for this incredible award - we call it the CPO Awards. These innovative CPOs span across industries in B2B Technology, FinTech, IoT, Digital Health, Telecom, Communications, Consumer Goods & Services, and more! They are truly pioneers in their industry as they build product-led cultures, reshaping the DNA of their companies.
How CPOs are Impacting Companies
Over the past two years, our team has spoken with over 600 CPOs, connecting with amazing executives making a big difference in the world of product design and innovation. These leaders represent many industries, but there is one common thread - they are driving strategic growth and innovation in times of economic uncertainty.
The impact of CPOs driving revenue for companies is at an unprecedented level. Based on our research and connections with hundreds of CPOs, we believe that by 2028, 70% of Fortune 1000 companies will have a CPO who owns P&L performance. That is a massive change to the C-suite!
The Challenges Ahead for CPOs
There are some big challenges ahead for CPOs as they strive to do more with less.
Budget reductions.
Hiring and retaining talent.
Building development programs for their teams.
Yet in the midst of these challenges, CPOs will be one of the most influential seats in the C-suite.
“A CPO is literally the only seat in the C-suite next to the CEO that touches every single function of the organization.” Renee Niemi, Resident CPO, Product That Count
It’s an incredible time to hold the title of CPO, and I cannot wait to celebrate the best in the world through the 2024 CPO Awards.
