Lancaster, CA transformed its downtown in just 8 months by redesigning it's main street from a mini-highway to a tree-lined boulevard.
For the cost of just $11.5M, the project has generated $273M in economic output since 2010, creating 800 jobs, and nearly doubling tax revenue!

Many Product Managers still work as if their job is to make decisions.
No.
Your job is ensuring decision quality and that a decision is made.

Product virality is a myth. One of those fun facts that seems obvious in hindsight but easily overlooked due to the prevalence of the concept.

3. Valuing the whole self of an individual can help to create a more positive and fulfilling work environment. There is more likely to be a sense of purpose and belonging if your individual aspirations align with those of the org.
Ultimately this isn't a trend that organizations can afford to ignore. People demand purpose buff.ly/3rNQNzy
Ethical debt, like tech debt, can be costly and difficult to address. As tech debt accumulates when shortcuts are taken in the development process, ethical debt accumulates when ethical considerations are overlooked in the design and deployment of systems. Both must be addressed.
