Early Access: Product Transformation Mastermind


Hey,

You probably noticed that I rarely promote/launch offerings around here. Today is the exception.

I’m starting a small peer group (up to 10 people) for product/tech leaders who are working on evolving/ transforming their organizations.

This Mastermind was born through conversations with leaders like you who expressed a desire for an intimate peer group with a high signal-to-noise ratio, where they can go beyond theory and dogma and have thoughtful, nuanced conversations about the journey they’re leading their organizations on.

Throughout a 3-month program, we will meet for deep dive sessions every 2-3 weeks, with hands-on work on experimentation/application supported by a private community in between.

If you’re wrestling with product transformation, relate to my point of view and approach (that’s why you’re here after all, no?) and want to collaborate with peers who appreciate nuance, curiosity, and exploration, this might be for you.

I’d love to explore whether this might be a good fit. If you’re at all intrigued by this, reply and we can explore further (or go ahead and book time on my calendar for a conversation)

—Yuval

PS If you know someone else who might be interested, would you do them (and me!) a favor and forward this email to them?

When Vered and I got married, my father-in-law gave me a very nice watch as a wedding gift. I didn’t wear a watch that often at the time. I wore the watch, but it didn’t transform me. It provided the service of telling the time, but even back in 2004, we had phones that had clocks. And I was and am pretty punctual so didn’t need that transformation. (And when you’re in Engineering/IT leadership, nobody cares about the watch you wear… at least in Israel… ) Don’t tell Eli, but that watch spent...

“GenAI can enable cheaper, faster experimentation / discovery (it compresses the truth curve by reducing the cost of pretotyping style product experimentation techniques)” (Yours truly, in yesterday’s insight on how AI can really help you build better products) This statement seems to have hit a nerve with reader Elad, who is product leader at a cybersecurity scaleup: “Not everyone can do this… New companies, sure. Larger, established companies are knee-deep in mountains of code,...

While the jury is out on the extent of impact GenAI and vibe coding will have on building mission-critical enterprise products… Here are some thoughts on how AI can help turn the product flywheel: Use GenAI to enable fuller-stack engineers and reduce tech debt This will enable you to organize smaller product/outcome oriented teams These teams can achieve more with fewer dependencies and streamlined processes (even without looking at opportunities to streamline product dev processes themselves...
