Executive Presentations. Why Good Work Doesn’t Sell Itself.
Despite the 39-degree heat melting my brain, Product at Heart enabled me to start absorbing knowledge before the conference itself. The evening before, I met the other speakers and experienced product leaders over a relaxed dinner beside one of Hamburg’s many canals. As an American who has only recently moved to Europe, the connections I made that evening were especially meaningful.
Founder-Led Organizations: When Founders Are De Facto Product Leaders
Product at Heart always runs some interesting experiments… this year, Arne and Petra thought up the Hard Problem Club. A few of us would moderate short, low-tech sessions on topics of interest… mine was Founder-Led Organizations: When Founders/CEOs Are De Facto Product Leaders, with about 20 attendees in a circle. No slides, no screens, just a flip chart.
Insights, Key Takeaways, and Highlights from the Product at Heart Leadership Event
We know firsthand what it’s like to be a product leader. Every minute on your calendar is accounted for. You have pressure coming at you from the CEO, the teams that report up to you, and everyone in your organization who wants to share their latest idea about how to make your product better (whether it aligns to your roadmap or strategy is a whole other question!). Each day brings new excitement—and maybe some super tough questions and a fire or two that deserves your immediate attention.
