I loved this book because it presented how you can start with seemingly difficult problems and solve them. It didn't focus on spending more money or finding groundbreaking innovations, but on understanding your customers, analyzing your data, and connecting the dots between customer needs and your products. Those are the things that I like to do. The book emphasized the importance of market segmentation, pricing, and creating win-win situations. The book drove home the importance of these points.
I bought the Kindle and the Audible versions because I wanted to examine the cloud diagrams closely. Later, I also studied the undesirable effects and the "if-then" method of reading these diagrams. I am applying these approaches in my work discussions.
I rate the impact of this book as 4 out of 5 because it provides immediate actionable steps. It's not a 5/5 impact yet on me because I haven't succeeded in encouraging my teams to use it fully, and it hasn't become second nature to me yet. I'm working towards that goal.
