How do we empower teams to make better decisions? In this session with Phil, attendees will explore how product organizations can foster an environment where teams are equipped to make high-impact decisions, stay focused on delivering value, and align around shared goals.
Talking Points:
High-leverage decisions require clarity – both in who makes them and how they are made. These decisions are guided by a mix of intuition, data, and continuous feedback. Empowerment is not simply about autonomy; it’s about leaders providing the right context, setting clear constraints, and defining purposeful missions. In fast-moving environments, strong collaboration with peers and partners is essential. Teams must take ownership and be accountable for driving meaningful outcomes.
Key Takeaways:
Empowered teams perform best when they have a clear mission and the right context to make confident decisions. Decision velocity – the speed at which effective decisions are made – is a critical factor in maintaining momentum and achieving results.
