It's only by changing roles that you can shift your perspective and see what was just in front of you, but you weren’t able to see. Join us for an insightful talk where Noa Danon, a seasoned product leader turned CEO, shares a candid journey of realizations and revelations.

Whether you’ve been told you need to have more of a business mindset, or you are heading the product department, you'll leave with a new perspective on the intersection of product management and business leadership.

Few people have journeyed from being developers and UX designers to product managers, startup management team members, and finally, founders and CEOs.

This talk provides an authentic reflection on how product professionals are viewed, which I believe will resonate deeply with the audience.

All PMs want to be business-oriented, but what does that actually mean? Is it simply projecting revenue dollars in your roadmap or (more recently) prioritizing profit?

This talk is a personal interpretation of the PARTS model, founded by professors Barry Nalebuff (of Harvard) and Adam Brandenburger (of Yale). PARTS uses the Game Theory insights as a base and constructs upon it five additional elements as extra dimensions. Those five elements are: Players, Added Value, Rules, Tactics and Scope. The PARTS model is able to consider a more realistic set of parameters and outcomes than Game Theory.
