The perfect strategy doesn’t exist
What you learn in 1-2 weeks of something being live is way more valuable than what you learn in 1-2 months o f making assumptions.
This is a little controversial, but if you're looking at trends alone, you could be missing out on a $1 trillion market.
While everyone’s looking at trends, there’s a goldmine in the opportunities they’re ignoring.
I’ve got a strong hunch that you're wasting $500K+ on insights that are throwing curve balls in your new product development
The real marker of success is proving demand, if people take action when it comes to your offer.
Big brands with massive budgets still create total product flops - here's why.
Beware of building products based on customer insights alone. You have to test demand (not everyone wants to pay you to solve their problems).
There is a 40% failure rate for companies using overseas markets as a growth tactic.
The variable here is when they look to go overseas too early (i.e. before achieving significant market share on home soil).
Here’s my hack to get quick and real customer insights (not the fake AI ones) in less than 3 minutes.
Sometimes we don’t have time or budget to do in-depth customer research. But, you still need to make sure you have a clear problem.
People are paying $1M for confidence in answering "what next?" Hot tip: don't.
The only way to de-risk your strategy, is to launch something that has a value exchange with a small number of consumers, see if they like it, and then worry about the rest.

Can consultants still add value in a world dominated by AI? If so, how and where? My vote is still yes, and here’s why.
Wanna know how to use experiments to de-risk your growth plan, but no idea how?

We talk about proof of value, what about proof of NO value?
Whether it’s launching a new product, or expanding one that’s in market, data that validates things that add value, is just as valuable as data that validates what DOESN'T add value.
Hey corporates, need to get stakeholder buy-in for your innovation projects?
Here’s what you can learn from the startup world, to show the value and potential of your ideas before they’ve launched, without a 5 year commercial plan.
We size markets, but I wish more people sized problems
A market is usually defined by a geography, and an audience that is classified by a mix of demographics, behaviours, and needs.
But here’s my hot tip, there’s another way.
I’ve spoken to at least 20 founders who've all made this one mistake that cost them months and millions
Don't fall into the "something for everyone" trap.
There's a $53M market in Australia with a lot of unhappy customers.
Finding a partner is often a top-three goal, yet we blindly place our trust in two companies to make it happen for us (but do they REALLY care?)
Can creative ideas that don’t solve an unmet customer need, work?
While functional needs are important, often it’s these emotional and social customer needs that are overlooked when trying to create unique products and services
Navigating growth: Adapting Aussie digital health innovations for the US market
The strategic shift Australian digital health companies are making to adapt to the US market
You can’t just digitise an existing solution and call it innovation
Taking a paper form and making it clickable is like slapping a motor on a horse and calling it a car — don't be one of those health tech founders!
Want to know the secret to minimising risk in your product strategy?
Implementing new features. Aligning with market trends. Balancing innovation with practicality. It's a delicate balance! That's why most 'sure-fire solutions' don't pan out. There's no one-size-fits-all strategy. But what if there was....
