In November 2017 I took the opportunity to launch the new ProductTanks in Bern and Zurich as part of the global network of ProductTanks created by Mind The Product. Since then, Pia, Dominique and I have launched several events in both cities covering topics like Growth Hacking, OKRs, Artificial Intelligence and Growing Up Lean. The last two events have been part of the
World Product Day which spanned over 90 events worldwide bringing top speakers and interesting topics to product managers all around the world.
Given the positive feedback and growing number of members in both our meetup groups, we are now more motivated than ever to bring high-quality events to the product community in Bern and Zurich. For those of you who are curious about the next sessions, I’d like to give a sneak preview into what we are currently working on:
In the spirit of going deep into a topic and connecting the communities in both cities, we are going to launch the next two events as part of a series on Product Leadership covering different aspects of this important and challenging topic. We are currently working hard on lining up great national and international speakers for you, so stay tuned and make sure you join our meetup groups in case you have not done so already. However, I am already delighted to tell you that
Martin Eriksson, founder of Mind The Product, himself has accepted our invitation and will be speaking at the next ProductTank in Zurich on September 22.
This is what we have in mind for the next two events (still subject to change):
ProductTank Zurich – Product Leadership: Leading With and Without Authority
Are you part of or leading a product team? Is it part of your job to help steer the product, engage with stakeholders or convince the management team? In this ProductTank we’ll explore the challenges of leadership, especially when there is no hierarchical authority supporting it.The agenda includes two talks (20 min plus 10 min Q&A) and a fishbowl discussion.
