WPD'25 Workshop: Can Product Managers and Business Live Happily Ever After?

## Celebrate World Product Day 2025 with Product Tank Hong Kong: Can Product Managers and Business Live Happily Ever After? 🎉🤝

Join Product Tank Hong Kong as we celebrate World Product Day 2025! This year, on Wednesday, May 21st, we delve into the crucial relationship between Product Managers and our colleagues on the Business side, exploring how to foster a more harmonious and effective collaboration for the benefit of our products and organizations. ✨

🌏 World Product Day is a global initiative celebrating the product management craft and the incredible community behind it. As Product Tank marks its 15th anniversary, we are excited to bring the Hong Kong product community together for an evening of learning, sharing, and networking. 🇭🇰

In this interactive workshop, "Can Product Managers and Business live happily ever after? 🤔❤️", we aim to create a space for open dialogue and mutual understanding between Product Managers and our Business counterparts. Here, "Business" is used in a broad sense, encompassing vital roles such as business operations 📊, business development/sales 📈, marketing 📣, revenue management 💰, finance 🏦, HR 🧑‍💼, Legal ⚖️, Customer Services 📞, Sourcing & Procurement 🛒, and other non-product-specific functions that are vital to the success of our companies.

We will explore the often-present disconnects and challenges in the Product-Business relationship, such as:

• Differing expectations on roles and responsibilities. 🤔
• Communicating business requirements effectively to Product teams. 🗣️
• Translating product priorities and KPIs back to broader Business objectives. 🎯
• Building empathy and trust between both functions to achieve shared goals. 🤗

Through facilitated discussions and group activities, Product Managers will have the opportunity to share experiences, exchange perspectives with their Business colleagues, and collectively identify strategies to build stronger, more collaborative relationships. The goal is to foster greater empathy and understanding, leading to more aligned goals, smoother workflows, and ultimately, more successful products and a thriving business. ✅

As this Meetup group primarily targets Product Managers, we highly encourage you to bring along your business co-workers to this event. This workshop is designed to be most impactful with participation from both sides, allowing for direct exchange and shared learning. 🙏

This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow product enthusiasts and business professionals, gain valuable insights, and contribute to building a stronger, more collaborative environment in Hong Kong! ✨
