Do you know what the Forces of Change are? As an entrepreneur or a Product Manager, you should. It's a simple, yet very effective framework to help build what people want. It was first introduced by Bob Moesta and Chris Spiek who were heavily involved in the Jobs to be Done movement. The framework can be found also as Forces of Progress, or The Progress Making Forces. In our latest episode of the Product for Product Podcast, Matt and I met Oz Nazilli, Founder of PMF Studio (Product Market Fit Studio) - a Toronto based studio that specializes in product strategy, discovery, and growth - to share with us his favorite framework - Forces of Change. This is a simple framework, yet very powerful and suitable for different organization sizes, in different stages they are at. Listen to the episode (links in the comments) to learn more about: 👉 How Oz got into product management and building his own agency that help organizations of all size find their Product Market Fit 👉 How do we define Product Market Fit? 👉 What Forces of Change framework is all about 👉👉 Where is it best fitted? 👉👉 How does it apply to enterprises vs startups? 👉👉 How it compares to other frameworks, or work with them 👉👉 What is usually the balance between these forces, if there is any? 👉 Can we prevent new problems or anxiety from happening? How do we reduce that risk? 👉Any gotchas in the framework? 👉 And much more…! #framework #productmarketfit #jtbd #product #productmanagement #productmindset #productforproductpodcast #p4ppodcast
