Career Development

Workshop: Aspiring to Fractional CPO

You’ve spent years leading products, building teams, making difficult decisions, and learning what works—and what doesn’t. Maybe you’ve been a CPO, VP of Product, product executive, consultant, or coach. At some point, a tempting thought occurs: I could do this on my own.

But having decades of product experience and building a Fractional CPO practice are two very different things.

In this interactive workshop, Steve Johnson will explore what it takes to turn product leadership experience into a focused, credible, repeatable practice. We’ll look at the different situations that create demand for fractional product leadership. Then we’ll turn the question around: Why should someone hire you?

If you already have the experience, the question is whether you can turn that experience into a practice.
