Appetite for Change: How to Transform Organisations for the Better
Details
What do you do when you know your company needs to change, but you don't know how to make that happen?
In the past 18 months, many organisations have revisited how they get work done - and for those lucky enough to have Product Operations teams, this function ends up taking on a lot of the work.
But how do you 'sell' organisational transformation, and how do you ask people to change without making them feel it's for the worse?
💖 Join us at Netlight to delve deep into the realms of change: What it takes to start, what to do when you have no mandate, and how to navigate through turbulence yourself.

About the Talk
"How do you become a driving force for successful transformations? What are promising approaches to transforming product organizations to be more user-centric, evidence-guided, or product-led? Let me walk you through three cases I have experienced and shaped firsthand. I will share patterns, debunk illusions, and tell you which pitfalls to watch out for."

Marton has been all over in product development, fulfilling Customer Segment, Project and Product Ownership responsibilities as well as Product Management and Lead roles. Much of his experience has centered around launching products from 0 to 1, then seeing them thrive, or learning from their failures. Marton recently moved from a Lead Product role at Taxfix to leading a team at Revolut Business, but wherever he is, he tries to make time for mentoring and supporting others in their own product-driven pursuits.
