Do product strategies scale across every company size? Or does success demand a tailored approach?
In this TPG Live roundtable, we’ll explore what it takes to thrive as a product manager in both large enterprises vs. small companies. From speed and ownership to process and influence, the contrasts can be stark. Hear from product leaders who’ve worked in both environments as they share how they adapt decision-making, team collaboration, and stakeholder alignment to fit the context they’re in.
We’ll also examine the broader state of the product management profession. As demand for PMs grows, so does the need for consistency, clarity, and credibility. What role should our community play in defining standards, certifying skills, and creating reliable career pathways? We'll dig into what's working, what’s missing, and what comes next.
How can product professionals adapt their approach while helping the entire field move forward?
This live event offers actionable strategies and fresh perspectives for PMs at every stage. Whether you’re scaling product practices or shaping your own career path, join us live to ask questions, share insights, and be part of the discussion.
