Navigating Product Politics with Jason Scherschligt
“In product work, we\'re not managing it to end on time on budget meeting all the requirements... we\'re instead managing it to last to endure. That\'s how I think of the difference between a project and a product. You manage a project to end... you manage a product to endure.”
Social Innovation with Carlos Abler
“Once I start to understand you better as a whole person and I start to say, okay, what are your goals and aspirations and pain points at what keeps you up at night? And how can I help you sleep and how can I help you? Achieve those goals. How can I remove the obstacles from your life you start to get into human empowerment stuff and you start to get into the domains that\'s social innovators and entrepreneurs do.”
Selling Change with Liston Witherill
“The big difference with trying to push a major initiative within a company is when you\'re going to other people at the company and you\'re saying I have this great idea. You should get on board with it the stakes for them are if they attach their name to something that\'s a dismal failure. Or their boss thinks is a stupid idea. They could lose their job.”
