Beyond operational excellence: Scaling teams, products, and platforms across a portfolio
Managing multiple product portfolios across different companies introduces a unique blend of complexity, opportunity, and organizational challenge. This session explores the fundamental question most product leaders face when moving to portfolio or operating roles: what should be centralized for efficiency, and what should remain independent to preserve culture and speed? This talk invites CPOs to focus on operational excellence and understand the people and organizational design decisions that actually determine whether scale works or breaks.
