Frances became a household name in 2021 when she blew the whistle on Facebook for the prioritization of profits over user safety.

And guess what... she is a PRODUCT MANAGER!

We got to ask her about her pathway into Product Management, what it was like working at Facebook when these practices were happening, and how she got the courage to speak up for what is right.

We also got to talk about the future of AI and how we can be at the forefront of it.

This is a MUST WATCH for anyone who is interested in the future of technology and how it can be created ethically.

Tis the season for product enthusiasts as Marty Cagan of Silicon Valley Product Group legend unveils yet another gem!

Every few years, SVPG releases a new book that distills insights from the most successful product organizations worldwide into an easily digestible format.

This time, the focus is on the ever-elusive concept of transformation. But what exactly is transformation? It's the process of reshaping an organization to be driven by technology and innovation, shifting from a project-based model to the Product Operating Model.

Christa and Renee have delved into the book and are brimming with excitement to share their key takeaways with you, including:

- What aspects of the book have us most enthralled?
- Why does transformation pose such a formidable challenge, based on our experiences?
- Which principles, gleaned from both the book and our professional endeavours, have proven effective for facilitating transformation?
- If you find yourself in a company far removed from transformation, what strategies have we observed to kickstart your own journey?

And that's just the beginning! Expect a deep dive into these topics and more during our discussion this Thursday.

Whether you've read the book or not, we look forward to engaging with you.
