The 4 Risks of Empowering Teams

The Product Operating Model, which empowers teams to build solutions based on direct customer conversations, should improve product outcomes, but some key risks can derail your efforts.

The Process Risk: Do your people have the skills to work autonomously? Can they identify problems and prioritise solutions?
The Alignment Risk: How do you ensure that teams will work on the highest priority areas and not just the latest buzzword?

The Structure Risk: How do you ensure multiple different teams aren't working on the same problem?

In this week’s article, we go into more detail on the risks and the solutions.
