NUS-ISS Seminar - Different by Design: What the Tech Giants Can (and Can’t) Teach Us About Product Management

Different by Design: What the Tech Giants Can (and Can’t) Teach Us About Product Management
What does product management look like inside the world’s most influential tech companies - and what can the rest of us take from it? In this candid and thought-provoking session on 4 July 2025, join a product veteran with nearly 30 years of experience across Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Google as he shares first-hand insights into how product thinking is practiced at scale. But this is not a playbook to copy and paste. Instead, the session invites participants to explore how they can drive change from where they stand. Through real stories and sharp reflections, you’ll discover that while there’s no one-size-fits-all model, the principles of good product management are adaptable, and change starts with individuals who are willing to shape the practice for their own context.
