Martin Harryson & Megha Sinha 

Joining Mik in this episode of Mik + One are Martin Harryson & Megha Sinha from McKinsey & Company. With a focus on their research which quantified the benefits of shifting from project to product models, Martin and Megha share insights on how these transformations can significantly enhance profitability and efficiency. As technology advances, the integration and upskilling necessary for these models are more critical than ever.

 

Listen as Mik, Martin, and Megha explore the importance of cross-functional collaboration, the challenges in aligning incentives, and the necessity of robust organizational design. 

 

 

Key discussions include:

  • The product operating model can significantly enhance return to shareholders and operating margins, with the top quartile companies outperforming others by substantial margins.
  • Crucial elements like psychological safety and cross-functional collaboration are essential for the success of product operating models.
  • Upskilling and capability building are vital, particularly in roles like product management, to ensure the effectiveness of these models.
  • Generative AI can accelerate product development and streamline processes, but its success depends on addressing foundational constraints in the product operating model.
  • Implementing these models requires a combination of high-level vision and detailed, specific actions demonstrated through smaller, focused initiatives.
