🇩🇪 My Only Public Product Strategy Workshop in German this Year!


Hallo liebe:r Leser:in,

English Translation below for internal forwarding to your German colleagues

Du lieferst Features aus und wirst nach KPIs gefragt – ohne Verbindung zu Erfolg für Nutzer:innen und Geschäft. Die Strategie deines Unternehmens ist entweder zu vage oder fehlt ganz. Das Ergebnis: Alibi Progress statt echter Wirkung.
​
In meinem Workshop "Strategische Umsetzung statt KPIs abarbeiten – Entwicklung & Messung von Produktstrategie am 4. Mai im Rahmen der Product Owner Days 2026 lernst du, wie du zu strategischer Klarheit für dein Produkt kommst. Du erfährst, welche Attribute Strategie wirklich nützlich machen, wie du sie pragmatisch testest und daraus Ziele ableitest, die Fortschritt messen statt nur Releases zu tracken.
​
Wir arbeiten in Gruppen an konkreten Herausforderungen, und am Ende nimmst du sofort einsetzbare Qualitätskriterien für deine Arbeit, praktische Methoden sowie direkt umsetzbare nächste Schritte mit.

Was du Lernen wirst:

  • Ansatzpunkte fĂĽr die eigene Produktstrategie abseits der Frameworks unabhängig von Industrie, Rolle oder Firmengröße
  • Pragmatisches Testen strategischer Klarheit
  • Tools fĂĽr Strategieprozesse und Zusammenarbeit
  • Erarbeitung klarer Ziele, die auf Firmenprioritäten einzahlen und dabei den Fortschritt strategischer Entscheidungen messen

English Version

You're shipping features and getting asked about KPIs—with no connection to user success or business impact. Your company's strategy is either too vague or missing entirely. The result: Alibi Progress instead of real impact.

In my workshop "Strategic Execution Over Checking Off KPIs—Developing & Measuring Product Strategy," you'll learn how to create strategic clarity for your product. You'll discover which attributes make strategy actually useful, how to pragmatically test your strategic choices, and how to derive goals that measure progress instead of just tracking releases. We work in groups on real challenges, and you'll walk away with immediately usable quality criteria for your work, practical methods, and concrete next steps you can act on right away.

What you'll learn:

  • How to approach your own product strategy beyond frameworks—regardless of industry, role, or company size
  • Pragmatic ways to test strategic clarity
  • Tools for strategy processes and cross-functional collaboration
  • How to craft clear goals that contribute to company priorities while measuring the progress of your strategic decisions

Viele Grüße und bis bald in Köln,

Chilling with my buddy King Arthur at Tintagel Castle I challenged assumptions, introduced frameworks, and helped people make better decisions when there was no obvious answer. While I still love doing that work, I’ve become increasingly interested in a deeper question over the past six years: From where...

Product Practice #424 Linked Better Practices over Stacked Best Practices PUBLISHED Sep 4, 2026 READ ON HERBIG.CO Dear Reader, “Let’s prioritize by value.” Value for whom? That was the question I explored in last week's essay Business Value, Customer Value, and Team Value Are Different Arguments. Today, let's demystify the term value even further. Nothing is inherently valuable. The same opportunity can have different value under different strategies. For that narrative to check out, we need...

Product Practice #423 Business Value, Customer Value, and Team Value Are Different Arguments PUBLISHED Aug 27, 2026 READ ON HERBIG.CO Dear Reader, As long as everyone focused on Value you can't do the wrong work, right? RIGHT? Well, as lovely as that sounds, I believe there's a tremendous amount of misdirected focus on value going on in teams. Let's dive into it. Three questions hide behind "value" in most conversations: Did this move a number the business gets paid on. Did customers change...
