Product managers are not just operators, but they are leaders who do everything that is required to build products the customers will love. Sometimes, the biggest challenges we face are strategic and cultural. This session will borrow from Heidi's experience working with some of the world's biggest companies and organizations to help them start moving at startup speed. It will cover some fundamental pillars that can be required for success - setting a clear strategy, building a test & learn 'muscle', shifting the culture - and the role that product managers can and should play to set the strategic and cultural heartbeat of any organization.
