Kinda got the the same conclusion than OP building in the same space. There is so much innovation going on currently that whatever you do today, two other people will do better tomorrow. Which is a good news for us but difficult time for bu

Well I agree that this is poorly written (I wrote it). The point of the article is not that companies shouldnt have PM, but that you shouldnt make them owner of the innovation in a B2B context. Of course if you start with the assumption of
