OC Product Managers January 2011 Mixer & Discussion featuring Steve Gladstone
"Understanding Organizational Maturity: How to Effect the Right Kind of Change for Your Company or Client"
Whether you are a Product Manager in a company or consulting with clients, it's important to understand the company's Organizational Maturity (roles and responsibilities, responsibility vs. authority) and type of environment (Project, Product, or Solution) when attempting to effect positive change. By synthesizing information about the type of change, company context, and more, you will have the highest probability of successfully delivering on innovation and change. The position of consigliere (from "The Godfather" movie) will be discussed as a model for core elements of the most successful Product Managers. To provide a personal context, Steve will ask provocative questions about what type your company is as well as your own personal type. Steve will color the discussion by sharing some hard-won lessons from his own personal experience.
As is the case at all OCPM sessions, group interaction will be encouraged, so this should be another lively discussion.
