Are You Struggling to Scale Your Organization ? Need agility but dubious of process BS/dogma? I share reflective, pragmatic, principled takes on how to approach scaling your organization leveraging the essence (rather than theater) of product operating models, agile practices and frameworks, and business operating systems such as EOS and OKRs.
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? |

Hey Reader, Most days, it feels like mentioning Agile anywhere in your online presence is like the GenAI Emdash. A troll magnet. That makes it harder (maybe even unsafe) to have a real conversation. share nuanced opinions. (And its even less safe to talk about SAFe...) If you're a leader working on improving your organization, should you only listen to people that DON'T talk about Agile? That don't have any SAFe association? Does not mentioning their Agile association immediately mean that...
Picture this: you've a breakthrough strategic initiative tied to one of your company-level goals that impacts 10 teams across two product groups, as well as your GTM organization. These are all busy, overloaded teams. Those same 10 teams are also juggling five other initiatives. And the business-as-usual whirlwind. You pull this work into the backlogs and roadmaps for all these teams. Fractional slices of people across the teams will work on this. Which means it will take a while. Leaders...
Please don’t write your OKRs using AI. OKRs should reflect YOUR strategy. Your choices. Your strong opinion. Your tradeoffs. What you CAN do is use AI to fix your OKRs. Here are some ways you could go about doing that: Collaborate with AI to create a prompt that reflects your perspective on what makes great OKRs Point AI at an OKR expert you’re following and tell it to create a prompt based on that expert’s advice. (Your OKR Hot Seat with that expert) Point AI at a set of OKR experts and ask...
