Hey friends, time to kick off our 2nd last Product Bookclub for the year. This time round we're going to read Inspired by Marty Cagan. If you've been following along this year you'll know this is the 3rd book from Marty we've read. This ones a little bit older, but I think it's good to revisit the concepts now that we've had a chance to check out Empower & Transformed. So if you wanna learn about how to make products that people love, hop onboard! We'll do a bookclub check in call every couple of weeks for the next 6 weeks! _________________________ What’s Product Bookclub? _________________________ It's an online bookclub for the members of Product Synthesis - each round I’ll announce a new Product book that I’ll be reading, and anyone in the community is welcome to read (or listen) along with me! If you’re like me, and love reading, but don’t have enough people to discuss what you’re learning, then this’ll be perfect for you! We'll run this round until the end of the month, and we'll do a check-in on the 12th & 26th of September, you'll find all the calls in the calendar. _________________________ Are you gonna take part? If so, let me know in the comments!

What's up everyone! Feels like it's been a while since I wrote one of these. Hope you all had a great summer and are raring to go for the last push for the year. It was great to re-read Good Strategy / Bad Strategy, it's a great book - but it was definitely a harder read than I remembered, but maybe that's just because I'd read it before? Would love to hear how you all found it below! This time round we'll be sticking to the Strategy theme, with Strategize - by Roman Pichler. I picked this up a few months back on the recommendation of a friend and have been keen to get to it, it's one of the few well rated books that actually calls itself a product strategy book, so I've been really curious! _________________________ What’s Product Bookclub? _________________________ It's an online bookclub for the members of Product Synthesis - each round I’ll announce a new Product book that I’ll be reading, and anyone in the community is welcome to read (or listen) along with me!

Hi all, I've been trying to sit myself down to finish the summary of Good Strategy / Bad Strategy for the last week, and I'm just not feeling it. There's something about the summaries that isn't quite clicking for me at the minute, and going by the view counts, and attendance of the summary sessions - I dont think it's quite clicking for all of you either. So I've decided to pause the summaries until I figure out how to do them in a more enjoyable, engaging and sustainable way. What does that mean for Bookclub? It's going to continue! I'll announce the next book on the 1st of September, and we'll go through it in just 4 weeks (it'll be a light one, dont worry). We'll do two check-ins on the 12th & 26th of September, and then I'll decide if the 4 week or 6 week cadence works best. As for what's next for this little community, I've some new things coming in the next couple of months, so stay tuned for more!

What's up everyone! Hope you all managed to get through Good to Great with the longer schedule. It really helped me label a lot of behaviours I'm seeing across the product space right now, which is impressive for a book that's over 20 years old! This time round we'll be reading - Good Strategy / Bad Strategy by Richard Rumlet. This is the first book I've done that's a re-read for me, but having read it before I can confidently say it's a must read for anyone who wants to level up their understanding of Strategy! _________________________ What’s Product Bookclub? _________________________ It's an online bookclub for the members of Product Synthesis - each round I’ll announce a new Product book that I’ll be reading, and anyone in the community is welcome to read (or listen) along with me!

Hi! Hope you enjoyed reading 'Transformed' as much as I did! Hoping to catch some of you during the summary today (at 7pm CEST) This month, we'll be reading 'Good to Great' by Jim Collins. The book explores how to shift product orgs over to the 'Product Operating Model', raising the awareness of the increasing need for Product Coaching in modern product orgs. I loved reading Empowered at the end of last year, so I'm confident this'll be a worthwhile read too. _________________________ What’s Product Bookclub? _________________________ It's an online bookclub for the members of Product Synthesis - each month I’ll announce a new Product book that I’ll be reading throughout the month, and anyone in the community is welcome to read (or listen) along with me! If you’re like me, and love reading, but don’t have enough people to discuss what you’re learning, then this’ll be perfect for you! I've changed the schedule a little for this one, as we're heading into the summer I thought I'd see how folks feel about a 6 week schedule for the bookclub instead of the monthly cadence we've been doing so far this year!
