It’s that time of the year: pumpkin spice fills the air, the Christmas commercials are making their debuts, and a Leader’s mind turns to the annual planning cycle. There's got to be a better way to spend your L&D budget next year.
What if I told you that there was?

How do I use my Learning & Development budget? — Out of Owls

Conferences and Training are the classic ways to spend your team’s Learning & Development budget - but what if there was something better? Create a learning culture instead. It's cheaper, more flexible and generates better results.

Yeah, all of the #product people have had their take on @Airbnb 's change in the PM role - and yet, there's still more: The Journey to Empowered Teams - Twitter, Airbnb & Tumblr https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/journey-empowered-teams-twitter-airbnb-tumblr-randy-silver/
The Journey to Empowered Teams - Twitter, Airbnb & Tumblr

There’s nothing Product people like more than geeking out about how one of the hot tech companies approaches Product development - and what that means for the future of their company and their own role. (Except maybe a 2x2 matrix.

💫 Clarity on what’s important
💫 Clarity on the value you deliver
💫 Clarity on execution and decision-making

@thedailyem about clarity ✨

👉 Alignment is a spectrum (or a 2x2)
👉 Clarity is not a vision
👉 Clarity can be easier in hard times
👉 Clarity is not a destination

@ttorres kicking off #ProductatHeart and smashing it, talking about the practical ways to make Discovery a habit. No surprise that identifying hidden assumptions is her first tip - it's something anyone can do, with no barriers. It's also what I developed Dragon Mapping for

Dragon Mapping: an introduction — Out of Owls

TL;DR: Dragon Mapping is a framework for having hard conversations with stakeholders and teams. Especially useful where there’s disagreement on what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, prioritisation, and what success looks like. You should be able to get people using this in 10 minutes or less.

We do this not because it's easy, but because we thought it would be easy.

Being a Product Leader is a lonely job - but it doesn't have to be. That's why I started getting groups of CPOs together to support each other. They've been brilliant.

Signups are now open for July CPO Roundtables. Sounds like something you want to take part in?

Being a CPO is a lonely job - but it doesn't have to be. Yesterday, a group of us got together to share notes about how best to handle shared ownership of KPIs with other departments, what to keep in mind when you've acquired another company, & what AI/GPT tools everyone is using (along with what they're using them for!).

Sounds like something you'd want to join?
