SUMMARY:Panel: The conflict between commercial metrics and customer outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Panel Event: The conflict between commercial metrics and customer outcomes. How product managers can balance cultural challenges\, managing metrics\, and being a good human being. \nAs technology and the landscape evolves we are seeing a growing conflict between delivering commercial outcomes and delivering value to and protecting the interests of customers. Performance metrics drive individual financial benefits\, and so we can see this driving a tendency for leadership to focus delivery on organisational commercial value at the cost of service or product outcomes to the customer. Product Managers are directly part of the interface facilitating this and often have to struggle with the fallout of final decisions.

SUMMARY:Transforming How Industries Connect
DESCRIPTION:The difficulty of getting independent systems to share data and work together — the interoperability challenge — has been navigated ad hoc for decades\, but the problem continues to grow. And while industry change is never easy\, the time is right for a more complete and audacious vision. \nTim will introduce us to an innovative open and federated platform\, rooted in DevOps and Agile principles\, that is designed to help organisations address interoperability challenges in ever more complex environments. This platform\, and the approach behind it\, is currently being considered by a federal industry body to support upcoming conformance testing challenges.
