Episode details: You Can’t Outsource Strategy

You can’t outsource strategy. You can’t depend on outsiders or 3rd parties to tell you what is important. And you certainly can’t depend on 3rd party or outsiders to give you the deep insights that you as a Product Manager need to have to build the right product, with the right details, in the right order, that really delivers value. – Rich Mironov
