This workshop is designed for product leaders and , and it emphasizes the product management, product design, engineering and product leadership roles.
This workshop is designed to be relevant and immediately applicable to those teams whether they are building conventional (deterministic) or AI (probabilistic) products. In both cases we advocate and illustrate how to take advantage of the latest generative AI-based tools and techniques.
Our goal is for everyone that attends to leave with a deep understanding of the principles and techniques needed to build the successful products of the future.

The workshop will be conducted in person at Cliftons Sydney Spring Street from 9 am until 5 pm for 2 consecutive days.
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Our Best Lessons for Product Creators and Product Leaders
If you believe you and your product team must change how you work in order to survive the threats of competition and disruptive technology (Generative AI being the most pressing example), and/or you need to be able to take advantage of new enabling technologies to better serve your customers (where again, Generative AI is the most compelling example), then this is why we have created this newly updated SVPG Product Masterclass:
- How do we need to organize to take advantage of these new opportunities?
- How does Generative AI impact the roles of the people creating our products?
- What new skills and competencies are necessary, and which are no longer relevant?
- How do we overcome internal resistance to change and innovation?
The SVPG Product Masterclass covers the principles and concepts described in our books: INSPIRED, EMPOWERED and TRANSFORMED. It is what the SVPG partners wish we had early in our careers, and it reflects what we’ve learned by working for and with the best tech-powered product companies in the world.
Our interactive masterclass is intended to complement the theory covered in the books with relevant case studies, examples, and insider stories from product teams and product companies that have dealt with, and overcome, many of the same challenges you face.
At SVPG, each of our partners has witnessed first-hand the impact that even a single strong product person can have on the success of a company. Which is why we are all about coaching and developing the best product people in the world.
“I said to my team that I would have gone away after just the first day with 1,001 things to try. It was all so beneficial.” - Jess H.

WORKSHOP FORMAT
Please note that our sessions are designed for those product creators and product leaders that truly want to level up their abilities, and become exceptional at their job. They are not easy, and they will challenge your thinking. If your company is not committed to transforming to this model, then not everything in the session will be applicable.
Moreover, be aware that our workshops are not the European style of workshops where you spend most of the time on exercises to try to solve problems for your company, with a little help from facilitators. While we do have several breakouts, and ongoing intense interactive discussions, if your main goal is to interact with the other attendees, and/or work on solving some of your current challenges during the session, this might not be the right format for you.
Quarterly SVPG Product Masterclass Alumni AMA Sessions
We’re excited to introduce a complimentary benefit for all SVPG Product Masterclass alumni. Alumni will have access to exclusive quarterly “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) sessions, hosted by the SVPG Product Partners. Upon completing the workshop, attendees will receive details on how to join these valuable sessions.
WHO IS TEACHING?
The workshop will be delivered personally by Christian Idiodi. Christian has been a product leader for over 20 years, building teams and developing enterprise and consumer products that have shaped companies such as CareerBuilder and Merrill Corporation. Since joining SVPG , Christian has worked with an exceptional list of industry-leading clients with consumer, business, and platform products spanning multiple industries.
WHY CHOOSE SVPG?
We hold these workshops in order to share the lessons we’ve learned from our many years leading product organizations at top product companies. This is why SVPG does not employ instructors. Instead, each of our sessions is delivered personally by one of the SVPG Partners. We use our decades of experience to share what works, and what doesn’t, and we go out of our way to expose the tough issues. Invariably, we get many questions because how the best teams work is generally quite different from how most teams work.
Our intention is to provide the single best learning opportunity in the world for product people.
What keeps us holding these sessions are the countless people that have told us that these sessions literally changed the course of their careers. We encourage you to reach out to someone you know that has attended one of our sessions.
