Workshop
From Theater and Feature Factory to a Business Lab
Do you see the value in becoming a Product Organization, but are unsure what to do beyond the buzz? This workshop helps you shape the path from where you are to where you want to be.
Self-Assessment
Where Is Your Organization on the Journey?
Are you a product theater? Factory? Or lab? This is where conversations with leaders start.
You have the vocabulary, the ceremonies, and the titles — but the organization still runs on projects, output metrics, and HiPPO decisions.
Teams ship features continuously — but it's output-driven, not outcome-driven. You're building things, but not necessarily the right things.
Teams are empowered around outcomes, experiment their way to value, and operate with clarity on strategy and customer needs. This is the goal.
The Workshop
Design/Evolve Your Product Organization
Thinking done together, in real-time
The bulk of the thinking happens together in workshop sessions — not in a slide deck delivered after the fact. Focused empathy interviews before the workshop ensure we maximize session value.Understand the why
Why companies shift toward customer-centric lean/agile product organizations operating as product labs — and what it would mean for your organization specifically.
Gain familiarity with product operating model principles
Learn lean/agile product operating model principles and patterns, and how they differ from your current operating model.
Assess your organization
Look at your organization through a product operating model lens to understand where you are and identify key improvement opportunities.
Determine your approach
Decide how to move forward in your context, with an emphasis on intent, principles, and context-appropriate patterns — not a one-size-fits-all framework.
Key Deliverables

FAQ
Common questions about this workshop
Is this about reorganizing everything at once?
No. We focus on high-leverage operating model shifts you can sequence pragmatically, not a disruptive big-bang reorg.
Do you work with organizations currently in feature factory mode?
Yes. Most organizations start there. The workshop helps you identify the minimum set of changes needed to move toward an outcome-oriented product lab.
What is the primary output?
A context-fit product operating model direction, current-state assessment, and a practical evolution trail map for leadership and teams.
