The Journey to Product Wellbeing
Turn Your Business into a Market-Driven Value Monster
The Journey to Product Wellbeing offers a fresh, practical perspective on how organizations can build stronger product capabilities in the face of growing complexity. Drawing on decades of real-world experience, the authors present a holistic framework that connects People, Process, Data, and Technology to drive lasting improvements in productivity, profitability, scalability, and quality.
This is not a book of theory. It provides readers with hands-on tools, case examples, and a clear maturity model to help transform fragmented systems into coherent, value-driven ecosystems. Whether in product management, operations, IT, or leadership, you will find guidance supporting every stage of the product journey.
The final section, Hot Potatoes, shares hard-earned lessons from real organizations, illustrating how overlooked issues can escalate into major problems and how exemplary leadership can transform them into measurable gains.
Perfect for anyone serious about leading change and creating products that thrive.
