Product Strategy course - Mesh Firm

Are you a CPO, Product Leader or Product Manager?
Transition from execution to working strategically.

 

We will gather a strong team of Product professionals for two days to upskill you into Product Strategy by working with your own case.

Do you struggle with?

1. Missing clarity in your day-to-day?

Translate the company vision into a strategic direction of the product which aligns with customer needs, business growth, and overall technology strategy.

2. Many equally important priorities?

Strategy is as much about what you IGNORE and DEPRIORITIZE...as it is about what you focus on. Perhaps even more...because the world of options is vast. Common sense? Well…

3. Stuck in business as usual?

A list of focus areas doesn't explain WHY you decided against other options. It doesn't take a stand. It doesn't explain the rationale. The emphasis shifts to "how much we can do" not "what are we being intentional about".
