Note: I spelled Acquire wrong..... Sorry

In this video, we explore the most important tool for a product manager: a well-formed Point of View (POV). I’ll walk you through how a POV bridges the business side with market needs, connecting strategy, company strengths, customer understanding, and market changes. We'll cover the process of developing an aligned, educated, and tested opinion, which forms the foundation of any successful product.

Key Themes:

Why a company exists and how strategy plays into product management.
How to align your company’s strengths and weaknesses with market opportunities.
Understanding your target market’s needs, behaviors, and opinions.
Using the PESTLE model to track changes in the market and capitalize on opportunities.
How a product serves as the bridge between business goals and customer needs.

Stay tuned for the next video where I’ll show you how I applied these concepts to build Neighborly Hauling, a mobile debris container (dumpster) business. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe!
