CONSULTING

Strengthen product capability

Some organisations need stronger product capability before they need — or can justify — a permanent CPO. The work is building decisions, teams and processes that stick.

Who this is for

  • Smaller data, software or fintech businesses that cannot yet fund a full-time CPO
  • Teams that need a growth-aligned roadmap and stronger product process
  • Leaders who want GenAI woven into product ways of working, not bolted on as a side project

Typical work

  • Building a product enhancement roadmap tied to the growth plan
  • Generating options for new products or markets
  • Helping recruit and shape a team for a critical build
  • Improving cost, speed and customer impact through better product process — including a practical path toward AI-assisted delivery

How I approach it

  • Agree goals with the senior team, then review products, people and process honestly.
  • Establish a roadmap aligned to growth — not a wishlist.
  • Set a vision for improved ways of working, including where GenAI genuinely helps.
  • Run workshops and regular steering so the organisation moves with you, not behind you.

Evidence

  • Built and mentored product teams from specialist starts into owners of their own roadmaps.
  • Coached product managers on innovation, governance, customer focus and competitive research so they deliver more value in the role.
  • Comfortable operating from strategy through to delivery detail when the problem requires it.
