Product Management Circle: New event series for product managers
Whether it's increasing customer demands, ever shorter innovation cycles or the question of how artificial intelligence is changing product management - product managers are under pressure. This is exactly where the new Product Management Circle event series comes in. This new format is aimed specifically at product managers and executives from industry and offers a platform for exchanging ideas about trends, challenges and solutions relating to the product management of tomorrow.
The Product Management Circle combines current scientific findings with practical experience from the corporate world. Each event combines inspiring keynote speeches from companies with interactive discussion rounds. This creates a lively dialogue in which challenges are identified and solutions are developed together.
Kick-off event with strong impulses and open dialogue
The first Product Management Circle on November 28, 2024 was a complete success: Around 40 participants from 20 companies - including Schmitz Cargobull, Isringhausen, DMG MORI, WAGO and Diebold Nixdorf - exchanged ideas intensively on the topic of data-based product management. The presentations highlighted exciting use cases from the companies, which were then explored in more detail in interactive rounds. A central theme: How is the role of product managers evolving - from operational caregivers to strategic designers?
