Product Night: Sustainable Discovery & Navigating Organizational Readiness đ
We all know that product work isnât just about developing features.
Itâs about making product work sustainable - from keeping discovery alive over time to getting products launched without wasting too much energy on alignment, stakeholder management, and organisational friction.
Thatâs often where product work starts to slip: discovery isnât maintained, launches stall, and too much effort goes into managing the system instead of building the product.
Join the **Product Academy** community at Westpark Zurich for an evening of raw insights, real-world failures, and proven frameworks from two industry experts.
**Who is this for?**
* The Strategist: PMs who want to use Opportunity Solution Trees (OST) to build the right thing faster.
* The Change-Maker: PMs in large corporates are tired of "stalled" launches and stakeholder misalignment.
* The Lifelong Learner: Anyone looking to network with the Zurich product community.
**Limited spots available**.
**The Lineup:**
**Vivienne Clement (Product Owner @ Swiss Post)**
* Talk: What happens when the Product is ready, but the Organisation isn't?
* The Vibe: A deep dive into the "political" side of PMing. Learn how to manage stakeholder buy-in and overcome hidden resistance when **launching AI and B2B products** in large corporations.
**John Huertas (Product Manager @ Swiss Re)**
* Talk: Making Continuous Discovery & Opportunity Solution Trees Sustainable.
* The Vibe: Move beyond theory. John shares lessons from a multi-year journey of experimentation to show how teams can bring more discipline to discovery, improve prioritisation, and make product decisions with greater confidence.
**The details:**
* đ
When: May 7, 2026
* â° Time: 18:30 CET
* đ Where: Westpark Zurich
Grab your seat and letâs level up your product game together!

Discover what is happening in the next few days
Beachvolley for Beginners at Sportplatz Buchlern đ
Hello everyone,
Welcome to this new beach volleyball openplay at ZĂźrich Buchlern đ¤
During this event, youâll have the chance to meet new people, play friendly matches and learn the basic techniques, if you wish. Let's meet on court 2 & 3.
This event is aimed at everyone that has never played before or a long time ago and is not sure to be able to pass the ball properly over the net or to someone. If you think you're comfortable playing, I invite you to join the advanced events of Marius: [https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-avsypajv/.](https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-avsypajv/.)
**Tips:**
\- Bring a water bottle \(there's a drinking fountain next to the courts\)
\- Bring **sunglasses**, sunscreen and a cap
\- The courts can usually be watered\, except in rare cases \- so it's good to bring suitable socks if it's hot
**Practical details and participation conditions:**
\- A small contribution is required for court rental and other organisational expenses\, please pay before the event via TWINT at \+41784053495 by **writing your name and date of the event** or cash the day of the event.
\- For any inquiries\, please **only message me on Meetup**
\- Please only sign up through Meetup for an easier organisation
\- Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance if you canât make it\, so others can sign up or I can reschedule the session
\- If you don't cancel and do not show\, cover your share to keep it fair for everyone\.
\- If it's raining\, the event will be cancelled as it's difficult to book 2 indoor beach courts\.
**Price per person:** CHF 6.5
**!No shows!**
Lately, there has been quite some no-shows. Therefore, I remind you to sign out 24 hours before the event if you're not sure to come. So that people in the waiting list can join instead. The court is not free, any no-show means wasted cost. In case of a no-show and no payment, I have no choice but to impeach you from signing up again by excluding you from the group đŁ

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards**
In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide âwhat-ifâ analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these.
While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics.
