Ever wondered why some OKRs just don’t hit the mark? Do you feel that the whole OKR process lost the sense of value to you and you don't know how to fix it?

Join us for the **OKR Roast**, where hosts [Victoria Sheer ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriasheer/)and [Alexandru Bleau](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandrubleau/) will dive into real OKRs submitted by attendees, delivering witty yet insightful critiques and providing actionable feedback on how they can go awry—and how to make them better.

Attendees are encouraged to submit OKR-related topics or challenges, covering anything from process, fostering OKR habits, or aligning OKRs with larger strategy and vision. All submissions will be handled anonymously and anonymized as necessary, so don’t hold back!

P.S. This interactive online event will aim to address all submissions live, but anything left unaddressed will be followed up asynchronously or featured in a future OKR Roast.

The explosion of large-language models in the past few years has turned everyone's attention to AI. OpenAI's ChatGPT has pioneered a new pattern for human-model interactions that other companies have been eager to follow. But is the chat-bot pattern the future of AI-powered products? During this session, we'll analyze and critique current patterns of human-model interactions and consider a more human-centric future for AI-based products.

Book Club: Untrapping Product Teams with David Pereira

New Product Tank Valencia gathering is ready to go!

Transformation is notoriously challenging — nearly 70% of initiatives fall short. But what if the real key to lasting change isn’t a perfect plan but a shift in mindset?

Join Chantal for a hands-on session where we’ll explore how the principles of product discovery — testing, learning and adapting — can be applied to transform the way we approach transformation itself.

Whether you’re shifting to a Product Operating Model or navigating any big change (professional or personal), let’s dive into practical, outcome-focused approaches that drive results that stick.

Mark your calendars and don't miss out!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
