Product management. Design leadership. Product content strategy

I am Vinish Garg, and I work with growing product teams for their product strategy and vision, product positioning, product onboarding and UX, and product content design strategy. I work on products in the UX and design leadership roles, product content strategy and content design, and sometimes in the product management roles.

I work with teams and functions to establish the standards and systems for a content driven UX and design by following a system thinking approach to the products.

Know about me on Twitter, LinkedIn, Medium, Substack, Product Hunt, and Slideshare.

The why and how of my work

Founders are too close to the product and the functional leaders often fail to align their core competencies and motivations to take the product vision forward collectively.

Many years ago when I worked as a content strategist and a designer, I often wondered if I could contribute to the product strategy itself. At the early stage of any project, I am most curious about:

  • Why we work—why an org exists, why they hire, why we work
  • What are the operating principles if any, for what goals
  • What the goals mean to different people, functions, and segments
  • What happens to our work? Who cares?
  • Defining what we do—boundaries, people, the sub-systems

Outcome—My Conference

A UX and Content Conference

I own a UX and content strategy conference in Chandigarh where international guests share their experiences and insights.

Products

I enjoying working with leaders and teams who are willing to explore, learn, and grow to have a shared and focused understanding of what makes our work meaningful for all of us. I can lead the teams, define standards and systems, set up actionable plans for operational velocity, and make it work with pilot wins to have the right evidence early in the work.
