The Uncomfortable Truth: A Great Product Is Not Enough There is a widely held belief in product development: if you carefully craft a product – optimise its features, sharpen its proposition, fine-tune pricing and packaging – you are setting yourself up for success.

They maximise the likelihood that consumers would buy the product.
