161: Clifton Gilley on What The Data Shows About Product Leaders and Product Laggards

Clifton Gilley of Gartner’s Tech Product Management team
In this week’s episode my guest is Clifton Gilley, a long time product manager, and now a VP Analyst with Gartner’s Tech Product Manager team.
Cliff made the jump from product management practitioner to analyst because they had the data. As he says, “What really made me gravitate toward Gartner is I knew that they did research.”
In the interview we delve into what the data says sets successful companies apart. And the answer? Leading companies (we talk about what leaders and laggards mean in Gartner-speak in the interview), are involving product managers in strategy, and it’s an outward facing role, facing the market and customers. Laggards tend to see product as a delivery team, mostly internal facing.
It’s clear in Gartner’s data that the more strategic the product management role, the better the outcomes.
