Strategic Skills for Product Leaders

According to Lisa, anyone can learn a framework like OKRs for example, but to be the best product leader you need more than that!

You need the strategic skills to lead without authority, to inspire and to empower.

Let’s talk about how to become the most successful product leader while balancing stakeholders, team members and customer needs easily.

Use ethical design and get rich quick

No. It doesn’t work that way. There is no secret method to becoming a billionaire in a week by using ethical design.

An ethical design strategy will not make you rich quick, but at the same time, it won’t give you fewer conversions or lower profitability in the long term either.

If you want to learn how-to, the presentation includes the challenges, the pitfalls, the options, and what to consider when working ethically first in digital governance and design. It will be fun, and it feels good to do the right thing.

Keynote: Facilitating retrospectives that are worthwhile and engaging

Retrospectives are all about making your team better. Working with complex systems like teams of people, you know that it is an important part of the process to continually reflect on, adjust, and improve your work process.

Unfortunately, some retrospectives are facilitated in a way so that they are wasting time instead of being the rewarding learning process they should be. Aino has identified a number of antipatterns for retrospectives that often stand in the way of a good retrospective.

Join this keynote to learn how to overcome these with humour, activities, body language, psychology and tricks for online retrospectives.
