Product Acceleration Platform: The Solution to Ineffective Product Management

We’ve been on a bit of a journey here at Products That Count. First, we shared with you how we went about defining the problem that Products That Count aims to solve. Then, we walked you through our process for creating a solution that Products That Count was uniquely positioned to solve as a market leader with the official debut of our Product Acceleration Platform

A Quick Refresher on the Problem

Before we explain what a Product Acceleration Platform is, it’s probably a good idea to check in on the problem it solves. Remember, we’re now in the Age of Product, where the best products win.

Ineffective product management comes at a cost. For starters, one in three product launches fail. Additionally, there is a 30 percent lost engineering throughput and significant missed revenue. The success of digital transformations is threatened by low-performing product teams.

The New Thing: A Different Solution

Our Product Acceleration Platform enables any organization to learn the craft of product management through a personalized, scalable approach.

A Product Acceleration Platform has 3 distinct capabilities:

• A breadth of world-class content from influential product executives at the most innovative companies. 
• Depth on product topics from all industries, geographies, and stages of maturity. 
• Progressive programs to continuously stay sharp, deepen knowledge and grow impact. 

The combination of these three capabilities is what sets the Product Acceleration Platform apart from other solutions that attempt to solve ineffective product management.

Why it’s Different

A one size fits all solution just won’t cut it anymore. 

Our approach is scalable, for companies big and small. It’s personalized, with unique content that is tailored to your product teams. It’s also a continuous learning experience, with new content being refreshed monthly.

We also understand that everyone learns differently. That’s why we offer content in many forms. There is content available to be consumed by listening, watching, reading, or interacting live at a webinar or during an AMA.

What’s Included in the Product Acceleration Platform

It’s no secret that Products That Count has been creating incredible resources for product managers and leaders for years. 

More recently, we’ve even added some new offerings to help product teams and leaders. The Product Acceleration Platform is the umbrella under which all of these offerings exist.

We empower more than 300,000 product managers and leaders with the help of hundreds of events globally each year; thousands of videos, podcasts, and articles online; best practices from Netflix product VP, Box CPO, and more; and our commitment to inclusion and increasing diversity in product.

Products That Count is the original and most influential Product Acceleration Platform in the world. 

Let’s break it down even further.

For Product Managers

There are a litany of resources available to PMs looking to level-up.

• PM Competency Assessment. We have a quick and simple way to benchmark your capacity to learn. This self-assessment will help to identify gaps and areas for growth.
• Strategic PM Course. This is a self-paced opportunity to uplevel the strategic mindset of a PM. 
• Product Bootcamp. To address the need for personalized product mentorship at scale, we have a scalable solution that will help you continuously up your game through a customized approach.

• Speaker Series. Product leaders from companies such as Slack, Airbnb, and Google share industry best practices in our free, weekly webinar series that draws 1500-2000 product professionals on average.

Here’s what one PM recently said about our Strategic PM Course:

“This course allows us to tap into SC’s vast PM experience. She shares valuable insights from her experience as a PM as well as experiences from other members of the product council. I am happy I took this course as it helped me fill gaps in my understanding of my role as well as it gave some strategies that I am going to experiment within the next 3-6 months.” – PM at a leading tech company
