• How do you create real accountability when your metrics, rituals, and culture keep teams stuck?

In this TPG Live roundtable, we will explore how product teams reconnect progress to purpose. OKRs, KPIs, and outcome frameworks can drive focus, but only when they are honest, aligned, and understood. We will dig into how experienced leaders design metrics that clarify intent, reinforce ownership, and build momentum without slipping into compliance theater or vanity tracking.

We will also take a candid look at the systems and habits that quietly erode velocity. Product work often slows not because teams lack talent or tools, but because outdated behaviors and structures go unchallenged. From bloated rituals to misaligned incentives, we will examine the invisible forces that block progress and the hard truths teams must face to move forward.

• What happens when teams stop measuring activity and start focusing on outcomes?
• How do you lead through inertia without defaulting to pressure or performance theater?

This session brings together practical strategies and lived experience from product leaders who have rebuilt how progress is defined and delivered. Whether you are resetting your metrics or trying to unblock your team, you will leave with tools to move forward with clarity.

Reinforcing Accountability: OKRs, KPIs, and the Metrics that Matter
Metrics only drive progress when they are grounded in clarity and connected to purpose. In this roundtable, we will explore how product leaders use OKRs, KPIs, and outcome frameworks to reinforce accountability without creating confusion or compliance theater. Learn how to avoid the common traps of vanity metrics, misaligned goals, and noise disguised as insight. Hear how experienced teams design metrics that promote ownership, sharpen focus, and accelerate real outcomes. Whether you are recalibrating how your team measures success or building a new system from scratch, this session will help you reset how metrics support progress.

Hard Truths and Velocity: Breaking Through Bureaucracy, Noise, and Bad Habits
Most product teams fail because of patterns they refuse to question. This roundtable takes an unfiltered look at the habits, structures, and assumptions that quietly stall progress and drain momentum. From unnecessary process layers to performance theater and misaligned incentives, we will surface the hard truths that slow teams down. Hear from product leaders across industries who have navigated complex environments and learned how to clear a path to real velocity. Whether you are facing internal resistance, unclear ownership, or a culture that rewards motion over impact, this session will help you name the problems and move forward with intent.
