Do you see the value in becoming a Product Organization, but are unsure what to do beyond the buzz?
So you’ve read the book, listened to podcasts, and seen some videos.
Maybe you even have a hypothesis about why moving from projects or an agile feature factory to a Product Operating Model will help your product organization.
But what does it mean in practice?
Where is your organization on the journey?
Are you a product theater? Factory? Or lab? This is where my conversations with leaders like you start.
NEW: You can now self-assess your product organization’s standing using the product organization scorecard I’ve created, based on my work with leaders like you.
Shape the path towards a customer-centric Product Lab
You have clear outcome-oriented goals for why moving to Product makes sense for your organization.
You have a clear understanding of what a Product Operating Model would look like in your organization and how it is different than your current operating model.
You know how to approach the journey towards a Product Operating Model.
Introducing the Design/Evolve Your Product Organization Workshop
In this workshop, heads of product/tech and their leadership teams:
- Understand why companies are shifting towards customer-centric lean/agile product organizations operating as Product Labs rather than Feature Factories (or process theater)
- Gain familiarity with lean/agile product operating model principles and patterns.
- Assess their organization using a lean/agile product operating model lens.
- Determine how to approach it in their context, with an emphasis on intent, principles, and context-appropriate patterns.
Key Objectives/Deliverables
The goal is to establish and align on:
- What operating system/model do we want to adopt? Why? What will be the evidence of traction towards that goal?
- Where we are currently and what sort of organization we want to become – Focusing on the behaviors we want to see.
- What are some practices and patterns that could help us create this organization? Enable the behaviors we want to see?
- A high-level trail map for evolving our organization, using a product approach to develop our product organization.
Approach
The bulk of the thinking is done together in real-time in workshop sessions, with us helping you apply relevant thinking approaches and tools.
We typically get acquainted with your context and expectations using a few focused empathy interviews to get the most out of the workshop.
Duration
1-2 days of interviews and preparation.
The main workshop is typically held for 2-3 days, depending on the organization’s size and complexity, and is preferably held in an off-site location.
