Product Leadership in Practice
A 7-day course that provides all the competencies you need to master within product management.
It’s not just Amazon, Google, Apple, and Facebook that develop products centered around customers and value creation – you, and your company, can too!
That is why we have created this course – for those of you who are ready to take the reins and get into the driver’s seat, when the time comes to develop valuable products.
With the course Product Leadership in Practice, we raise the standard for what present and future, product leaders can do. Which tools you should have in your toolbox to create products that actually create value for customers, users, and the company.
Throughout the entire course, we alternate between teaching the product development competences you need to create the absolute most value creating product for the customers, and the leadership competences you need to unite teams and the organization around the product, through engaging and effective communication, coaching, facilitating and mentoring.
As a participant in the course, you can expect to be challenged throughout – both mentally and practically. You will undergo a professional, as well as personal, development that will effectively contribute to becoming a Product Leader that makes a difference.
The course is made for Product Leaders who already have experience with leading the development of products. You have the foundation sorted out, and now you want to take it a step further and take your Product Leadership skills to the next level. Whether you have a role as a Product Owner, Product Manager, Product Lead, UX Designer, Business Developer, Chief Product Officer, or something else, is not important. What is important, is that you want to challenge your own habits, learn something new, unlearn something old, and along with the other participants, raise the standard for the way in which products are developed and led.
After the course:
You have insight into a product’s life cycle all the way from idea to finished product with a successful launch.
You know how the product-led organization works and functions, and how you steer an organization into a product-led direction.
You know how you work with product strategy and product vision, and how you can communicate them effectively.
You have a clear understanding of the way product strategy and product vision relate to the company’s overall vision and business strategy.
You will be able to work with a portfolio of products in a structured manner.
You understand the product team and how you contribute to creating the best possible environment for success.
You know how you evaluate which business ideas or product ideas should be pursued, and which ones should be dismissed.
You have comprehensive insight into Product Discovery practices, and the mindset that is needed.
You know how you can work with hypotheses and experiments to learn from, and thereby reduce the risk of product ideas.
You are part of a professional network, that is passionate about creating valuable and commercially viable products.
In the first module, you will learn everything about setting the best possible direction for your product, based on the right positioning, as well as a clear and well-defined product vision. It is about leadership of the product, how you reach a wider audience and create a bigger impact. Among other things, you learn about the various elements in the product vision and product strategy, and how you communicate them effectively to customers, stakeholders, and product developers.
You will also work with how you create a value-based strategy for the product. You learn how to put up outcome-driven goals in order to guarantee value in the product – so you avoid falling into the classic waterfall-traps. Furthermore, we will dive into what the difference is between leading products that are already established in the market, and products that are still just an idea. Hint: They are not necessarily handled the same way!
How do you know that the product will actually solve a real problem or need? Through work with the product’s value proposition, we open the Product Discovery toolbox. We will work with understanding the customer’s needs and challenges and find the best ways of solving it through the qualities of the product.
You learn how experiments can help you validate the assumptions and hypotheses that surround the product, and how you can facilitate that process around Product Discovery – and how that helps set the scene for world-class product teams.
Most of us are not in an organization that has the optimal prerequisites to create products that put the customer’s needs at the center. So, what does the product-led organization look like? And what can you do to steer your organization in the direction that gives you the best possible conditions to put the product first? And how do you get the product out to the customers quickly, in high quality and in the right order?
We have reached the certification day, where a final, practical assignment has to be passed to become a certified Product Leader. At the end of the day, it will be celebrated with the rest of the participants in the course.
