Blindly following competit ors can lead us up mountains we&rsquo\;ll never conquer. Poorly defined su ccess metrics make it tricky to know if we&rsquo\;ve successfully reached our destination.\n\nLet&rsquo\;s better equip our teams to set off on thei r product strategy journey. In this talk we&rsquo\;ll explore&hellip\;\n\n \n Tools to make strategic decision-making more practical\, creating maps that highlight opportunities for strategic product investment\n Simple w ays to define metrics that can support the business case for investment in mapped product ideas\n\n\n&mdash\;&mdash\;&mdash\;&mdash\;\n\nAleksandra Melnikova\n\nExperience Design Director (Independent)\n\nAleks is an Exper ience Design Director on a mission to make a positive difference to the wo rld.\n\nOver the past 15 years she has led design teams across London-base d UX/product design agencies such as ORM\, Foolproof\, BIO\, Radley Yeldar \, Publicis Poke and Inviqa\, delivering successful products and services for a variety of clients in travel\, finance\, real estate\, and healthcar e\, as well as internal audiences.\n\nShe&rsquo\;s an advocate for inclusi on and diversity in the most active way: by coming up with (and building) tools and services that open up participation to people from all walks of life and all backgrounds.\n\nTools she has designed and launched helped pe ople and teams find books for kids with diverse representation\, understan d how to work with dyslexia\, generate inclusive design scenarios\, find i nclusive imagery and content and make research activities inclusive.\n\nAb out the talk:\n\nLeadership as an ever-evolving service\n\nIn this talk\, Aleks will tell a story of creating the futures of people\, together with people. It will heavily feature one brilliant team\, and a multitude of ta ngible team evolution examples centred around four aspects of leadership s he believes in: listening\, co-creation\, pro-active inclusion and sustain ability. Spoiler: it might end with a holacratic team model\, where the le ader renders themselves redundant\, and therefore free to design the next thing.\n\n&mdash\;&mdash\;&mdash\;&mdash\;&mdash\;&mdash\;&mdash\;&mdash\; \n\nAbout your hosts:\n\nProduct Unleashed is brought to you by your hosts  \;John Griffin \;and \;Dominic Port.\n\nThe duo has worked on the design of products of all shapes and sizes\, and brings their energy and enthusiasm to this unique meetup\, packed with great guests and knowle dge - for anyone interested in leveling up their game in the world of prod ucts.\n\nSign up here\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://siliconbrighton.com/wp-content/uploads/2 022/12/98065.jpg CATEGORIES:Silicon Brighton Event LOCATION:\, \, X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TI TLE=:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20221030T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
