Tag Archives: Government 2.0

I recently wrote a guest post for the Brainmates Product Management blog looking at the lessons that we as product managers can draw from what has been happening in the world of Government 2.0. I highlighted in my last post here that I believe we are now entering the trough of disillusionment for Government 2.0, and the more I have thought about these two subject areas, the more I have come to realise that it is during this phase in the lifecycle of any technology initiative that Product Managers become key. Be they established Product Managers in established companies or Entrepreneurs acting as Product Managers for their Big Idea, the principles taught to us at Product Management school are key to emerging from the trough onto the slope, or crossing Geoffry Moore's Chasm, or surviving the cynic-generated chaos of this critical technology life stage.
