But, given that I don’t drive much and I was completely focused on safely reaching my destination, I didn’t pick up my phone.

    This whole experience has me thinking about habits and behavior and how this might apply to the problem of distract driving.

    The ultimate question then becomes: who identifies that value? After the executive or stakeholder identifies the initial idea, who in the organization ensures that the product and experience deliver value to the user? Maybe it isn't the product manager, marketer, technologist, or designer; perhaps what we need is a new role: the product storyteller.
