Episode Description

Explore how to prime your cross-functional product teams for success – with the help of  design leaders from multinational retailing company, Kingfisher plc,  and digital education platform, FutureLearn.

We chat to Russel Murton-Cole, former experience director at FutureLearn, and Chris Golding, principal product designer at Kingfisher, about some key themes on our minds, including:

  • A true product team vs. a features team: which one are you?
  • How to carve out space for true discovery work and problem solving 
  • The  role of strategic clarity and product vision
  • Why storytelling is the people skill your team needs to nurture
  • The value of slowing down in an environment that's all about speed

Enjoy! And please remember to share, rate, and let us know what you think!
