Understanding the Three Pillars of Product Decision-Making
Product decision-making involves balancing intuition, analytics, and customer feedback. While intuition can provide insights into customer needs, it requires validation through data and customer interactions to avoid biases. Companies tend to lean towards one mode of decision-making, leading to imbalanced strategies. Analytical decision-making, popular in the past decade, relies heavily on experimentation results, sometimes neglecting intuitive product understanding. Similarly, over-indexing on customer feedback can limit innovation, as seen in the case of Apple and the development of the iPhone.
