Imagine you are the head of product for Chrome. What would your strategy be?
- Rob Martin
- CLARITY–
- To ensure that the goal that we set aligns with the mission of the company, my understanding of the mission of google chrome is maximizing access to information
- Do we want to focus on any particular themes such as privacy and security, intelligent features, digital well being
- Are we looking at the setting the goal for a specific market or WW, because that would affect the language features, dealing with low-bandwidth situation, etc.
FRAMEWORK – Brainstorm on Potential goals, Key Actions, Trade-offs
SOLUTION – Brainstorm potential goals
I would like to discuss one goal for each of the themes
- a) privacy and security: become number one rating in privacy and security category among all the browsers
- b) intelligent features: build new features to increase access to user information that are used by billion plus users
- c) digital well-being: create tools that promote well-being for billion plus users in terms of tracking time spent online, sending reminders for taking breaks, help users to wind down.
I would prioritize the digital well-being where our goal is measurable
Key actions and success metrics
- a) Number of users accessed digital well-being features (acquisition-top of the funnel)
- b) Number of users took health-breaks to walk by virtue of the well-being features (activation)
- c) Average number of days customers use this feature in a year (retention)
- d) Number of customers that shared the tools with their friends (referral)
Discuss trade-offs
One major potential downside with digital well-being is that it might lower the engagement (time spent) on the google chrome and other suite of google product.
But still, it is a right thing to do to promote digital well-being and also to create long term value for the customers. Also, if google does not create this feature, third party might create this feature to fill-in the gap in the market.
