Systems thinking for product people

Product people are already systems thinkers. Learn to apply it more consciously, to make work more impactful (and fun).

Product people are already systems thinkers, we just don’t always call it that. This workshop will help you apply systems thinking more consciously, to make work more impactful (and fun).

The workshop is about understanding and applying systems thinking to our day to day work creating and evolving product experiences. We’ll explore what systems thinking is and is not, and which modern product practices are actually systems thinking tools.

We’ll apply what we’ve learnt to our context to see work from a new perspective and identify where we can make small changes that make an outsized impact.

Who is this workshop for?

Product people, designers, forward deployed engineers, and engineers without product support. Anyone building and creating experiences for people, with other people.

What will attendees take away?

  • What systems thinking is and is not

  • What modern product practices are actually systems thinking tools

  • Systems thinking frameworks applied to your work
