Overview 

Transform your organisation by adopting a product-centric approach to meet rising customer expectations and drive long-term sustainability in a dynamic business environment. Embrace Product Thinking to build better products by balancing customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints.

In contrast to traditional project management approaches, this programme facilitates practices that help organisations transform to a culture characterised by strategic long-term ownership and business-driven outcomes. Complementing other programmes that focus on the tangible responsibilities of a product manager, this 2-day programme will equip you with actionable strategies to evolve your organisation into an agile environment grounded in product thinking principles.

Testimonials

Learning how to differentiate between product thinking and project management concepts was useful. Going into detail about product management tools and skill sets was also helpful.

The programme deep dives into product management. Since we are moving from project to product management, this programme is highly relevant to my job.

I am new to the concept of product thinking. So, the principles, objectives, key considerations are useful to me as I can take them back for adoption and adaptation in my work.
