Speaking & conversations
Keynotes, fireside conversations and board sessions, shaped around the audience's decisions.
01
A chief product officer's perspective. A feature list tells a team what has been requested, but not why one investment matters more than another. I want the roadmap to expose the customer problem, expected value and principal uncertainty behind each priority. Discussion focus: product strategy, customer discovery, portfolio prioritisation, product operating models.
02
A chief product officer's perspective. Customer interviews and experiments should answer a question that matters to an investment. Without a defined decision, discovery can become a collection of interesting observations that leave the roadmap untouched. Discussion focus: product strategy, customer discovery, portfolio prioritisation, product operating models.
