In many ways, Amazon has defied the traditional laws of business operation and has continuously demonstrated new formulas for winning in the digital era. Could the basic principles behind this success also guide product development?

Product management lessons from Amazon's success

The principles behind building and scaling a world class company do not differ much from those used for developing a successful product. Product managers can learn a lot from successful founders and CEOs. In this talk, Babis Makrynikolas, shares some of the most important lessons learned during his time at Amazon and explains how they can be adopted by product teams. You will learn:

What is the most important question to ask about the future?
What is a one-way door decision?
What is a question mark email and what should you do when you get one?
What is a famous quote that Henry Ford (probably) didn’t say?
What do Steven King and Jeff Bezos have in common?
