Practical product leadership improvement

Get better at getting better – while getting things done

We take you though a practice-based action learning process designed to help you to integrate the practice of improving product leadership into your daily work (the "double task") - for both you, your colleagues, and wider organization.


  • Chapter 1: Establish and commit

    Envision your preferred future, think through the challenges that stand between you and that vision, and define your assignment for the rest of this programme.

  • Chapter 2: Learn & grow

    Engage in the "double task" of iteratively improving your product leadership as you collaborate with colleagues on your chosen business assignment.

  • Chapter 3: Turbocharge your future

    Celebrate your success, then prepare the ground for continuing learning and product leadership improvement in your organization as you wrap up this programme. 

  • Anytime: Get inspired, seek community, get coaching

    Use our platform to seek inspirational materials, participate in structured learning events, get coaching from experienced mentors, and engage with a community of product leaders like you.

Multi-dimensional product leadership

Increase your situational mastery of the complexities, dilemmas and paradoxes of agile product leadership @scale

Every week, we will offer short inspirational, live lectures ("pitstops") to help you juggle the many dimensions of product leadership mastery. Topics covered include:


  • Improvement leadership

    Change is everywhere and inescapable. But how can you ensure that it is actually change for the better, in your own product work and in that of your team or broader organization? And how can you turn the "double task" of improving work as an integral part of doing the work into a daily leadership practice?

  • Relational leadership

    How can you ensure the appropriate level of shared direction, coordination and commitment in the workplace without undermining self-organization or relying on individual acts of "heroism"? And how can you expand this to the wider group of interested parties in your product development initiatives?

  • Delivery leadership

    A a product leader, you have prime responsibility for ensuring that you deliver the right product capabilities, in the right way, at the right time, and with the right view toward the future, to satisfy customers and/or other stakeholders. But how can you take good decisions about content and strategy in a complex, unpredictable environment?

  • Trust leadership

    Mutual trust is the foundation of high-performance agile organizations. But how can you build and sustain trust at scale, and what can you do to repair trust if it is damaged?

  • Personal leadership

    As a product leader, you are yourself your most important "tool". So how can you continue developing your self-mastery and set up the systems you need to support you in evolving your own leadership style or styles?
