> Strategies for attracting and retaining tech talent in a non-tech industry
Treat your product team like wizards, not a cost center. Make sure the product director is a tech hire with business chops, not a sole tech hire (will let the team resume build) or a sole business hire (wont understand the peaks and troughs of velocity).
Ensure that the customer is clearly defined internally, that the KPIs are oriented towards the bottom line, and keep things well-oiled but lean.
Your best solution would be to spin off an internal company with eventual plans to commercialize what you build. You want someone with startup/entrepreneurial experience.
Anyone who promises you a product within 3 months or tells you it will take more than 12 months for an MVP is snowing you.
