Product strategist Joseph Hanna’s revolutionary approach to product strategy garners both market success and industry recognition

FT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pivoting as a Way of Life by Joseph Hanna has achieved both #1 New Release status on Amazon and multiple honors in the 2024 Goody Business Book Awards, including being named a Top Impact Author. The book received awards in three categories: Winner in Business Innovation, Winner in Technology Gamechangers, and Finalist in Business Disruptors.

This remarkable dual achievement comes at a crucial time when businesses are grappling with rapid technological changes and market shifts. The book’s rapid ascent on Amazon reflects its timely challenge to conventional product management wisdom, with the Goody Business Book Awards recognition, selected from hundreds of nominations worldwide, validates its significant contribution to business literature.

This recognition, combined with its Amazon success, underscores the book’s significant impact across multiple areas of business and technology.
