For the product people

When it comes to creating a successful business, one of the most important aspects is always keeping your product top of mind.

We’ve been thinking about product a lot lately, and you can join us on 12 October online for a day of product related talks, discussions, and workshop sessions aimed at giving your product team a booster shot of innovation and enthusiasm.

We’ll be building on some of the top product talks we’ve had in the past at BoS like:

#NoWrongPath

The stress of cramming for exams. The anxiety of waiting months for the results. The hyperventilating when the envelope lands on the doormat.

Things we have all experienced and don’t care to relive. For some of us, it’s our children who are currently sat with the big envelope to open (or is it all done by emails these days?) and scared to open it. The biggest thing to remember is that no matter the results enclosed, there is no wrong path ahead and it is not the end of the world.

The BoS team reflect on their journeys:

1,000 days

It’s been 1,000 days since I joined the BoS team as the design and operations arm of BoS.

A pandemic, several online events, an in-person event, a mid-lockdown house move, planning and executing a wedding, and a welcoming a new team member later. Here are the top 1,000 things I have learnt from Business of Software talks. Actually, that might be too many, how about five?

Energy. Bringing the right energy to your team is important. Positive energy breeds positive results. Equally, negative energy leads to disengagement, burnout, lack of focus and aimlessness. You’ve experienced both right?

Do engineers mean to kill people?

Brilliant technology with bad design can kill people at worst. Not a great outcome. There are plenty of less extreme examples of bad design in software that have resulted in injuries, the destruction of one of the world’s greatest cathedrals, through to frustrated users who often end up not using the software you take so much care to build.

Is your product as easy to use as you think? In this new BoS talk, Scott Berkun tells great stories and offers practical steps to design your products better. He discusses why we’re responsible for the products we put into the world and the importance of making design an integral, iterative part of building products. He shares the four fundamental questions of design you should ask whenever you building products. Check out the latest video from the BoS Library.

Let’s talk lobsters

Lobsters are weird.

In 1800s they were dirt-cheap because they were so copious, so were routinely fed to prisoners, apprentices, enslaved people, and children. Nowadays they are seen as delicacies for the more fortunate. This rags to riches story is why we at BoS LOVE the lobster and why we are proud to wear the lobster emblem on our USA tours.

Questions Founders Have About Selling Companies

What do you wish you knew about selling your company? You probably won’t know until it is too late.

The most common feeling that founders share post exit is that they wished they had known more about the ins and outs of selling a company before they entered a process. 

At BoS, we’ve been talking with a lot of founders, both post-exit and those that are considering an exit, to understand what they would like to know about the process of selling a company. We’re going to be running a mastermind group for founders who want to achieve the best possible exit for themselves, their customers and their teams.
