@kintan That makes sense!
IMHO CX and Sales Reps can be effective partners to help with Product strategy (market, buyer, competition) but agree that Support and Sales Engineering teams are best for feature-specific feedback!
“Enable the bidirectional sharing of strategic context and empower teams to provide meaningful feedback and critique WITHOUT pitch theater, premature convergence, dull strategies, killing creativity, non-interactive meetings, no agendas, no pre-reads”

"Create space to think, then act on it, set boundaries, and broadcast. Follow the steps above to make strategic leadership your habit, and start being a strategic leader, today!"
In fact, this is what product centricity is really about.
Considering product the center of gravity to avoid dynamic unbalance which will slow teams down and eventually might even kill the product.
Before making a decision, ask yourself
1: what information do we already have?
2: what is our plan for getting the information we still need?
If you try to do 1 without 2 you will waste more time in meetings than it would have taken to just do the research.
In case you ask youself how a software can guide product teams through the beautiful mess of product development — well, it’s because it’s running on the @productfield
Turns out the process of decision making determines the quality of our decisions more than the analysis we put into the decision — by a factor of six!

The information is out there. It's just not evenly distributed.
A big part of successful #ProdMgmt is gathering that info and evening the distribution.
Common knowledge, common context and common understanding are HUGE levers when it comes to team/org/product performance.
It's ok to have “good enough” strategies...
...as long as you plan to improve them with feedback
It's ok to aim to improve with feedback...
...as long as you actually collect feedback

BTW, here’s how Field users share their product strategy:

It’s a web page with a set of clear strategy statements which connect to the shared bigger picture for the sake of coherence.
