The range of work we do as product managers is so broad that we inevitably end up finding inspiration from all sorts of sources, whether it’s books on business strategy or essays on design. However, the book that has given me the most insight into the nature of my work is somewhat unlikely – psychologist Daniel Kahneman ’s non-fiction bestseller Thinking, Fast and Slow. “Our brain has two very distinct modes of thought: System 1 (fast, automatic, and impulsive) and System 2 (slow, consciou

You might be asking yourself, "Why is employee engagement such a hot topic this year?" Given the sheer volume of time and money spent on all things digital self-service over this past decade, one would think call centers would be left with nothing to do. Quite the contrary. While some of the easy calls have been diverted to self-service channels, contact center agents are finding themselves fielding more complex call types and often dealing with grumpier customers on the other line who just fini

A practical guide to Customer decision making. When the Nobel-prize winning economist professor Daniel Kahneman wrote his book Thinking Fast and Slow , he introduced the concept that we had two ways of thinking about things. He named them System 1 and System 2. The two systems work together to help us make decisions about things. When we applied these concepts to decision-making in Customer Experience for our book, The Intuitive Customer, we renamed them.

There are many characteristics that successful call center representatives share, some being more important than others. Additionally, there are some characteristics that will be more important based on the needs and functions of a particular call center, although many traits are universal to all who work in a call center setting. Things like showing up on time, willingness to learn, and a generally good attitude are things all call center reps should possess.

The SaaS industry is constantly evolving, and for many companies in the space, that means having to evolve their business model. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean a “pivot”, but more often the evolution is a shifting business model as the company scales and the user base grows and changes. The classic example sees a company move from niche startup to mainstream scale-up, but it can also see companies hone their product-market fit by focusing on a more specialized, and yet more lucrative, us

The latest thing I am into is Airbnb. Airbnb properties have character, at least the ones that we chose. I like that when we use Airbnb, we stay places where we wouldn’t typically. I find Airbnb fascinating because it is an organization that is disrupting the hospitality industry. I wondered what the secret was to their success. After all, let’s face it, having a business predicated on the idea that people would let strangers stay in their home sounds like a doomed venture.
