The 2nd Product Community of Practice (PCoP) Forum: A Conversation: The Product Thinking Mindset

Technology driven products and services are changing the way the business is run. This impacts the customer and the markets as well as the organisation itself.  

What’s a Product Thinking Mindset and how can we use it? Organisations typically fund and implement initiatives as projects where “build once and maintain thereafter” is the practice.  This is changing.  There is a growing trend where such initiatives are undertaken instead, by product teams to solve a business problem; and the mantra is to “build-learn-iterate”.  

Join us in the Product Community of Practice meet up and hear from Organisations who have embarked on this journey.
