Lessons in Thinking Long Term: Understanding Consequences of Short-Term Focus Product Thinking

    • Technology

This week we explore short-term and long-term thinking with an example from Covid-19.
We’d have been much better served during the pandemic if the FDA hadn’t relaxed its rules for so long or had thought about the long-term consequences of their hand sanitizer policy. And we’d be better off as product teams and organizations if we thought more about the long term while balancing our short-term needs.
