Hire Right. Develop Right.

Most organizations invest heavily in hiring product managers—and then even more in training them. Yet performance still falls short. Why? Because hiring and development are treated as separate, one-time events instead of a continuous system. In this session, “Hire Right. Develop Right.”, we break down a practical framework used to build high-performing product teams—by connecting how you hire with how you develop talent. Together with Farrah Koudsi from 7Sparx Training LLC, we explore: • Why most product hiring fails before interviews even begin • How to assess real product thinking—not just polished answers • Why training doesn’t stick without proper diagnosis • How to apply a continuous improvement model to talent and capability If you’re building or scaling a product team, this session will give you a clearer, more structured way to do it—without guesswork.
