Whenever you try to adapt or improve the situation, you're playing the product game. Everyone is playing on the same field — they all see the game differently.
To play well, you need to understand where are players are focused, and how they see the game. You need the right tools and artifacts to explore the space, generate alignment, and open up emergent possibilities for play.
This newsletter explores the game from the perspective of a strategist and consultant. The goal is to help you understand the field, anticipate predictable patterns, and make better moves.
More details:
- I send an update each Monday, building on prior weeks' thinking
- See the Perfect Response from June 2026 as a starting point
- Past updates are in the Product Game index
