In 2021, I ran a learning experiment with a bunch of VPs of Product and GPMs. It was called Case Camp and the format was scenario-based role playing. Everyone in the small cohort played the CPO and I played everyone else. We went through tricky leadership situations and put people in the hot seat where they had to take action and practice difficult conversations. The group said it was the best professional education experience they'd ever had, not just because of me but because of each other. They learned different perspectives and alternative approaches to tough management problems.
I've been looking for the right time to bring it back to life and decided 2024 was the year and Maven was the platform I've been looking for. So in February I'm going to kick off a small cohort of what I'm calling "Product Leadership in Practice." For those interested, the link is below.
