As emphasized in Lean Startup and Moneyball, focusing on actionable metrics, as opposed to traditional vanity metrics, is key in building feedback cycle and driving growth. What actionable metrics are you measuring for your product? What are the best practices in finding and measuring the right metrics? What impact did it make, both short- and long-term? Let's share our thoughts on this!

Who's designing the user experience in your organisation? Should product managers be wireframing, or should it be left to interaction designers and UX specialists? Let's explore how the two roles overlap and how PMs and UX designers work together best.

Enthising consumers with fancy or funny adds would get you into their wallets untill a few years ago. Now consumers can 'talk back'. Social media and internet provide consumers with quick information about your product and service quality. Does this mean there's only one way that will get you sustainable profits? Quality.

Silos are killing product development and customer centricity. How do you make them 'snap out of it?'
