We've heard it quite often lately: there's a lot L&D can learn from product management. But what is that exactly? Thanks to Lucia Collarà who brought years of experience to the table, we got to explore:

A framework for building products looking at viability, feasibility, and desirability;
The difference between product management and product ownership;
How just like L&Ds, PMs are informal leaders, and need to influence change without authority;
How the discipline of prioritization helps product managers in being impactful business partners;
Why the OKR framework can fail without enough resources & psychological safety.

Get ready for lots of insights, and a thoughtful conversation about product management, teaching product management, and the lessons we can learn as L&Ds from the product world.
