In today’s world, it’s rare for things to be completely clear or precisely determinable. Not everything is black and white. The demands on modern organizations and management are more contradictory and paradoxical than ever before, challenging orthodox value systems and business principles.

In a world where the “what” takes a back seat to the “why”, making bold decisions requires courage, awareness, and a willingness to make mistakes. In digital transformation, this ambiguity is often forgotten.

In this article we’ll discuss why disruption is inevitable and how to embrace it.

It's pretty common for companies who tend to carefully listen to their customers to hurry into developing a service or a product to meet the customers' needs as quickly as possible.

Often new products and services surface from well-identified customer needs, but after a while, the initial excitement wears off and is replaced by slower-paced progress. Sometimes we even end up questioning the viability of the original idea. These doubts often originate from a lack of clarity. Rea...

Pulse247 is a Finnish software company focused on helping clients sell more online using the MyCashflow e-commerce platform.

By the beginning of 2021, Pulse247 had successfully grown into a company of 30 people and was in the midst of transitioning from startup to a fully-fledged Product Company.

Even though steady growth was welcomed, the product development team had gotten way too big and rigid. This meant that the product development wasn't scaling as it should in order to meet the requirements of the growing business.

But how to split the teams? How to maximize the effectiveness of the teams?

These questions prompted us to work on this together and find solutions and the optimal way to structure product teams and support them with their product leadership.
