ProductTank Edinburgh: "The Strategy Cycle" & End-of-Year Retro

ProductTank's last Edinburgh meetup of the year is about turning a pile of research, stakeholder opinions and goals into a strategy before you build the 2027 roadmap. Andrew Skotzko, product leadership coach and author of The Strategy Cycle, talks from 18:00. He has advised product leaders at Google, Databricks, GitHub, Ramp and HubSpot, and will share a framework for putting strategic choices on one page and spotting decisions a team is avoiding. He's giving away five copies of the book. From 19:00 the group reviews its year and takes requests for 2027 topics and speakers. Food and drinks from 17:30. Free, at People's Postcode Trust on Charlotte Square. Why go: a practical strategy session timed for planning season, from someone who has done this across startups and Fortune 100s. Best for product managers and founders who own a roadmap.
