The Strategic Context -

Essential Skills for Product Executives:

Product professionals work at the crossroads of strategic planning, execution, and collaboration across various teams. They must clearly define the strategic significance of their projects to effectively influence decisions and foster alignment among different groups and leaders.

This meetup will introduce a structured framework for establishing the strategic context, including business objectives and challenges, ensuring that communications resonate with stakeholders and stimulate action.

A unique lecture format featuring audience participation.

Hands-on roundtable discussions will allow participants to apply these concepts to real-world product dilemmas, enhancing their ability to advocate for ideas, secure support, and manage critical conversations with assurance.

The practical takeaways include:

• A strategic thinking framework for understanding leadership requirements – By adapting the approach to analyzing challenges and opportunities, individuals can align better with executive priorities and business objectives.
