Society needs effective public organisations, and no organisation can be called effective unless it can also be called digitally effective.

Be transparent. Public works should be equally (if not more) accountable for their performance than private ones.

"Strong tech-product companies know they need to ensure consistent product innovation. This means constantly creating new value for their customers and for their business. Not just tweaking and optimizing existing products (referred to as value capture) but rather, developing each product to reach its full potential."
– Marty Cagan

Successful digital products are almost always built by long-lived multi-disciplinary teams that have broad power to shape their own work. We call these empowered product teams.

Translating organisation strategy into something multiple product teams can efficiency execute on is one of the functions of product management.

an executive team designed consciously to support empowered product teams is more likely to be successful than one that is designed around other goals

empowered product teams take the vertical responsibility to deliver value for customers. Functions take the horizontal responsibility to build organisational capability.

"Believing that conventional management had stifled innovation, Jobs, in his first year returning as CEO, laid off the general managers of all the business units (in a single day), put the entire company under one P&L, and combined the disparate functional departments of the business units into one functional organization."
