In most organizations, the people using the technology, buying the technology and developing the technology, don’t tend to communicate frequently (if at all). At times, it feels like an extended game of “telephone,” with the essential elements of the conversation getting garbled along the way. I sat down with Oleg Mysyk, a Product Manager and […]
A market evaluation expert and an incubator advisor at Veeva systems, Chris has built a career around finding what makes successful B2B software tick. He began at Adobe, and was one of the early advocates championing Customer Experience as core to B2B product strategy – long before it became the buzzword it is today. Here’s […]
As an avid podcast listener, one of my favorites is 99 Percent Invisible. It’s about “all the thought that goes into the things we don’t think about.” As someone who works in B2B tech, there is nothing I love more than thinking about things people don’t think about.

My daughter, Rachel, is probably the only 12 year-old in the country who knows who Carol Burnett is.

He even allowed himself an enthusiastic shoulder grip and smile when he discovered that he hadn’t in fact […]
In 16th century Japan, times were tough and chaos reigned. A few regions decided to take matters into their own hands by setting up their own government and getting their own citizens to protect them. Up until that point, towns often turned to Samurai warriors for protection. However, they were expensive, they drew too much […]
When my kids come home from school I always ask “how was your day?” Any guesses as to the answer I invariably get? “Fine…” “Anything special happen?” “No” Bonus points if you visualized a pre-teen eye-roll in there as well. But it’s funny, they actually have plenty to say at other times. While I was […]
Anyone with toddlers dreads the public meltdown. You’ve seen us, the harried moms with the kids in tow, just… trying… to get… the shopping… done. And then, just as we are coming down the home stretch at the checkout counter, the supermarket has helpfully placed chocolate bars precisely at toddler eye-level. To the right, Mars […]
