On a recent trip to Florida, I got a rental car and during the 1.5 hour drive from the airport to my destination I was shocked to see the number of people clearly texting while driving or talking on the phone.

Maybe it isn't the…A product is more than an idea, it's more than a website, and it's more than a transaction or list of functionalities.

The ultimate question then becomes: who identifies that value? After the executive or stakeholder identifies the initial idea, who in the organization ensures that the product and experience deliver value to the user? Maybe it isn't the product manager, marketer, technologist, or designer; perhaps what we need is a new role: the product storyteller.
