I help product teams and the people who lead them put impact first.

Product transformation and support

Putting impact at the heart of day-to-day decisions is much harder than moving boxes around in a slide deck.

I work with organizations to make sure that their leadership-level transformation ambitions are reflected in every team’s real work:

• Working sessions with the leadership team on strategy and goals
• Coaching for pilot teams and cross-team cohorts
• Co-creation of concise playbooks and practices that fit your organization’s specific business model and operational constraints

Over three months, Matt kept more than thirty people across product, marketing, and editorial aligned around the same outcome. What stood out to me most was his ability to bring everyone along with him.

Goal-setting workshops and advising

Your company and team goals should be informing every single day-to-day product decision, not languishing in a slide deck that teams only look at once a quarter.

I work with individual teams and broader organizations to define ambitious and impactful goals, commit to shared accountability around those goals, and actually use those goals to make decisions:

• Setting goals for the coming quarter or year, and getting the people who deliver them to commit in the room
• Building out the lightweight practices to incorporate goals into team discovery and delivery rituals
• A retrospective on last quarter’s goals before anyone writes the next ones

Matt’s one-day Impact-first workshop was one of the best investments we’ve made in ages. The day itself was fun and inspiring, but the real value came later, as teams started reframing their roadmaps around impact, and challenging each other on whether each piece of work genuinely moves the needle.

Product management upskilling

I work with leaders, teams, and organizations to co-create upskilling programs building on the ideas from Product Management in Practice and Impact-first Product Teams:

• One-day Impact-first workshops to upskill product managers and teams on commercial thinking
• Hybrid monthly or quarterly coaching and training engagements
• Purpose-built skill and maturity models and assessments

[Matt] delivered training sessions to the broader product organization that have become central to the way we think about goals, strategy, roadmapping and prioritization. I highly recommend working with Matt.
