📣 Product Designers
Do you have a portfolio? Is it a red flag for you if a hiring manager asks to see one?

💡 An interesting thought experiment...

What is your company's moat when anyone can trivially create a rival product with AI in a matter of hours?

At this point surely it's easier to just monitor Prince Andrew, than try to monitor every foreign national coming into the country?

Who's redisruptifying conveyancing at the moment?

Please do it faster 😂

Thanks!

If part of your product development process involves pulling a business case together and submitting it to finance for funding, you'll probably be out of business within 10 years.

Fund teams to solve customer problems over 12-24 months minimum.

Just waiting for the annual 'Winter Wonderland turns out to be a muddy field / disused warehouse' stories to start appearing.

Along with a suitably glum looking family who paid £20 each to go.

🚀 2025 could be MASSIVE

Gen AI is driving top line revenue growth as well as margin efficiencies.

Those things combined are creating a new surge in SaaS, with valuations up, and companies obviously looking to capitalise on the opportunity AI brings.

How will you capitalise?

🤔 Product innovation is NOT just about features in the product.

Every part of the offer is an opportunity to innovate

💡 Configuration

👑 Context is King!

The chart shows % change in contract and permanent PM jobs over the last 10 years.

It clearly shows the bubble of 2022, the fall of 2023/24 and now a trend back towards 2021 levels - lets hope that plays out as more data comes in over the next quarter 🤞.

📣 The job of Leadership is NOT to just hire great people and get out of the way!

Your job is to:

✅ Provide strategy and context
✅ Provide focus
✅ Remove blockers and clear the way
✅ Coach and support

That's hard work, and not for the faint hearted 💪

@nortrup.dev hi Andy, great to see you’re hiring. Shout if I can help at all (I’m an ex VP Product and now run a specialist product exec search company) 👍
