Bits About Books : In Conversation with Radhika Dutt, Author, "Radical Product Thinking"
Radhika Dutt is the author of Radical Product Thinking: The New Mindset for Innovating Smarter - which has been translated into several languages including Chinese and Japanese. She is an entrepreneur and product leader who has participated in five acquisitions, two of which were companies that she founded. She advises organizations from high-tech startups to government agencies on building radical products that create fundamental change. She is currently an Advisor on Product Thinking to the Monetary Authority of Singapore and serves on the board of the independent publisher, Berrett Koehler. Radhika has built products in a wide range of industries including broadcast, media and entertainment, telecom, advertising technology, government, consumer apps, robotics, and even wine. She graduated from MIT with an SB and M.Eng in Electrical Engineering and speaks nine languages.
Radical product thinking demolishes the commonly tested model of keeping on trying to build new products until one just clicks and becomes accepted by the market. This mentality was promoted by the VC culture. It propounded the ‘fail-fast’ model, which rests on the idea of trying out products rapidly, and if they don’t work, you simply move on.
Radhika’s idea of Radical Product Thinking is the very antithesis of this idea. In her model, it starts by defining a problem, and clearly articulating why the problem is absolutely essential to solve- in other words why the status quo is unacceptable. Only then should one try to envision a product that can try to solve that problem, and that is how the product definition comes about. We must think of the product as a mechanism to create change.
The book started initially with a toolkit and a framework for defining products and market fit but went on to become a book when the author realized that the framework needed a “voice-over” to make it more accessible to audiences. The book goes on to cover a large range of issues to do with leadership and company culture as well, which are, according to the author, all based upon defining the purpose of the organization in terms of what it solves.

by Cory Snyder
When it comes to effective partner programs and partner organization strategies, growth and relationships matter. Here, I will share what I have learned in my 15+ years of experience creating, launching, accelerating, and scaling partner and sales organizations.
Here’s what works for me, as well as a few other wild ideas on what I believe will move the needle for growth at Teamwork.com in 2024. With these strategies, we aim to hit three times our partner count and 6.5 times the revenue from our partners this year.
With that in mind, let’s jump in!

The Vector Computer Company
by Tomasz Tunguz
If you were to watch three videos on YouTube Shorts - one on Italian cooking, one on chess openings, & a third on crypto trading, YouTube Shorts’ recommendation algorithm combines the video descriptions with your dwell time. Watching the osso bucco video to its end would trigger more Italian cooking specialty videos in your feed.
We believe every LLM-based application will need this capability.
Combining text & structured data in an LLM workflow the right way is difficult. It requires a new software infrastructure layer: a vector computer.

The Perfect Homepage for Early-stage SaaS companies: Free Template + Examples + Tips
by Alexander Estner
The goal of your homepage is to convert your visitors to the next stage of your sales journey (mostly free trial or book a demo). This being said, your homepage and messaging should focus on this primary objective.
What this also means is to focus on the important key elements - and not to cover all your features, benefits, and in-detail questions your customers could face along the way.
