Christian Idiodi sits down with SVPG partner Lea Hickman for an insightful conversation about what product transformation really means in practice. They dig into the patterns, false starts, political realities, and leadership challenges that show up repeatedly when organizations try to move to the product operating model. They also get practical about convincing reluctant leaders, shifting from output to outcomes, and why pilot teams are the most effective first move.
