Have you ever spent hours preparing for product strategy interview questions, only to feel defeated? I know I did—until I developed the GUCCI Framework to answer them effectively.
In this podcast, I walk you through how I use GUCCI to tackle open-ended questions like “Should Lyft enter the food delivery market?” or “What will Google offices look like in 10 years?”
Here’s what GUCCI stands for:
G – Goals & Mission: Start by aligning the product decision with the company’s mission and objectives.
U – Unmet Needs: Look for gaps in the market that competitors aren’t solving.
C – Competition: Analyze competitors, market trends, and whether it’s a red ocean or blue ocean opportunity.
C – Customer Segmentation: Focus on underserved or niche customer segments that could be early adopters.
I – Integrated Ecosystem: Consider synergies with existing products, services, or partners.
Stay until the end to discover the mistakes I see most candidates make and how to avoid them.
