Introducing KO's Theme of the week. This week's theme is: Embrace Challenges & Continual Learning! 📚 Over the past few weeks, I've had the privilege of conducting product training with some exceptional individuals on our team. This experience served as a valuable reminder that, despite my expertise, I'm not a know-it-all when it comes to every facet of our product. There were questions I couldn't answer, but what I did know was where to turn for answers and how to uncover them. This experience reaffirmed a fundamental truth: Learning and Development are not mere checkpoints in our careers; they are ongoing journeys 🛤️ As I navigate the ever-evolving landscape of Enablement in FoodTech, it becomes increasingly vital for me to uphold my commitment to self-improvement. Here are a few reasons why: 1️⃣ Staying Relevant: The restaurant industry and our Products are ever-changing. What the focus is today, may not be the focus next week. I need to ensure my skills remain valuable by staying up-to-date. 2️⃣ Unlock New Opportunities: Learning opens doors. It expands my knowledge, broadens my horizons, and equips me to take on new challenges and responsibilities. #ChallengeAccepted 3️⃣ Personal Fulfillment: Learning isn't just about professional growth; it's about personal development too. The satisfaction that comes from mastering a new skill or conquering a challenging task is immeasurable. 4️⃣ Adapt to Change: Change is inevitable. Those who are adaptable and continually learning are better equipped to navigate uncertainty. Remember, the most successful individuals and organizations never become complacent. They recognize that knowledge is power, and the pursuit of excellence is a never-ending journey. So, I'm committed to lifelong learning and professional development. I'll continue to embrace challenges, lean into the unknown, be intentional about my growth, and accept change as it comes. I'll never stop pushing the boundaries of what I can learn and achieve. 💪🌍 🌟 "The day you stop learning is the day you stop growing." 🌟 #LifelongLearner #SalesEnablement #NeverStopGrowing #ChallengeAccepted

Hi Everyone, This is the learning from 1st Lecture of the Management Consulting Fellowship Program by #growjunction Topic: Program Orientation This is best start of the Program for me, as i am able to understand the difference between #productmanagement & #managementconsulting Learning which i got from this Topics as below; 1. Product gets developed based on the research done by Management Consultant. ( i,e. Management Consultant solving the problem for Business by thinking out of box, doing market research, etc. and sugget the Company- best solution by increasing the Profit or decreasing the cost. but the research done by Management Consultant is not on granular level but product Manager can use this as support and do more research to develop best product for the Customer). 2. Getting the clarity on- why Business required Management Consultant? When the business have the Financial and or Time constraints to find the best solution in market for their problem, the Management Consultant play the vital role by providing Right direction focus with correct Information and proper direction plan for solution. Even the Management Consultant can give Neutral point of view on business from External Perspective, which helps the business owner to understand their business more. 3. Clear view on the working roles of Management Consultant and Product Management. Thanks you Jahangeer Asif Sir for their valuable guidance #Growjunction #fellowgrowjunction #managementconsulting

I am so excited to share that I just earned a badge of completion from McKinsey Product Academy (2023 series). Here are my key takeaways: 1. AI-driven product improves workflow efficiency, allowing teams to focus on more complex and strategic tasks. 2. With AI-driven products, repetitive tasks and processes will be reduced, hence, increasing work efficiency. 3. Generative AI can assist Product managers in analyzing vast amounts of data; identifying market trends; consumer preferences, and competitive landscapes, and providing valuable insights for product strategy. 4. With AI, Product managers can analyze user feedback in prioritizing features of a product that align with user needs and expectations. 5. Product managers need to understand that a good product is not defined by its' aesthetics or complexity rather, a sustainable product is one that not only meets user needs but also contributes positively to the environment and society. Sustainable products not only appeal to environmentally conscious consumers but also foster a sense of corporate responsibility and long-term brand loyalty. 6. Lastly, product managers must understand it's essential to build a product that is inclusive to all users and is iterative. By prioritizing inclusivity, Product Managers contribute to creating an outstanding product that's impactful. Thank you @McKinsey Academy for such a wonderful learning journey.

🚀 Daily Learning Update 🚀 DAY 6 👉 PRODUCT MANAGEMENT 💡Ango Mustapha 📚 Today’s Learning: Market Research Market research is the process by which product managers accumulate and interpret information about market drivers, products or services to be offered, and about customer needs. Why Market Research Matters: 1. Reduces business risk: • Around 50% of companies don’t survive past the fifth year, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 2. Enables effective marketing: • Segmentation, market penetration, customer journeys, new market evaluation, mapping out your customer needs, etc. 3. Ensures staying ahead of competition: • Nokia still struggles to get back in the mobile game after they failed in their market predictions. 4. Helps launch the right products: • New product concept testing, prioritization of key features, etc. Common Market Research Methods: • Focus groups: • A scripted series of questions led by a moderator to lead the discussion among a group of people. • Surveys: • Can be conducted in person, via email, online, or via phone, with concise and straightforward questionnaires. • Personal Interviews: • Include unstructured, open-ended questions and provide valuable insights into user attitudes. • Observation: • Draws a more precise picture of customers’ usage habits and shopping patterns. • Experiments and Field Trials: • Involve scientific testing, proving specific variables and hypotheses. Effective market research is a cornerstone for informed decision-making.

Project Moonshot was one of the most challenging initiatives we’ve faced as an organization at NielsenIQ. It meant migrating 100,000+ clients in 80+ markets onto one central platform after they’d gotten used to another application - and there were about 20 iterations of what that other application was… How’d we do it? Well, we had to change things. We had to stop thinking “big picture” for once, and break the job down into increments. It was no longer about what we were accomplishing in a year or two, but the next three months. That made a substantial difference. For one, it gave our team members a lot more visibility into how everything was progressing, what was coming up next, and where we needed to pivot, if at all. When you work in silos or everyone’s focused on various things, and you don’t realign for 12 or 18 months into development, it’s hard to cohesively achieve a goal. It’s also hard to identify problems or gaps because by that point, you’re too far from where you started. Long term goals and plans are good, especially for external stakeholders. But internally, we’ve found it’s better to develop products with a more immediate focus in mind. Having tangible milestones, particularly when you’re dealing with complex projects like Moonshot, offers a reassurance, a motivator, and an accountability measure. And it’s helpful from a client perspective too. We now develop in 14-week blocks of time, committing to what we can accomplish and sharing updates with clients along the way. Happy to say we have a 98% say-do ratio so far.

It's never too late to learn. This is something that still rings true with myself, and my business The Good Food Group Ltd 🥑 In our journey of growth and adaptation, one mantra has stood out: It's never too late to learn new skills. Our path wasn't paved with expertise in every domain we ventured into. Instead, it was our willingness to dive headfirst into learning on the spot, embracing risks and opportunities in equal measure. Our approach has always been hands-on, learning through the challenges we face and the chances we take. This philosophy has not only propelled our business forward but has also allowed us to offer a more comprehensive service to our brands and retailers. Learning from those who've walked this path before us has been invaluable. Advisors, mentors, and consultants have been our compass, guiding us through uncharted territories. I believe in transparency about our learning journey—it's essential to be upfront about why we seek out certain partnerships and expertise. Today, our business spans retail management, product development, operations, category management, and direct-to-consumer sales across various platforms. Each year, we grow stronger in these areas, thanks to our never-ending quest for knowledge. Embrace the journey of continuous learning. It's the key to unlocking potential you never knew you had. To anyone standing at the crossroads of opportunity and doubt, remember: the best time to learn something new is always now. #LearningOnTheJob #GrowthMindset #ContinuousImprovement
