An insightful workshop for our Product Owners

As part of our journey of continuous improvement, learning and development at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, we were pleased to offer a face-to-face training for our Product Owners. The workshop took place in the Barcelona office during Q3 and it was delivered by Duncan Skelton.

A total of 14 colleagues from 14 different teams participated in the training, and we had the pleasure to speak with Andrea Corda, Associate Product Owner based in Italy, who shared with us his insights about the experience.

"The experience was really good. First of all, it was a great occasion to meet in person with people we worked with for the past year and never saw face-to-face. The training was really interesting as it was focused on the concept of design-thinking, which is a way of approaching projects slightly different from the purely technical approach we are used to have," Andrea told us.

He continued as "it was insightful to see the different point of views and distinct ways of working of colleagues who have the same role. This is the base for easier collaboration and better understanding in the everyday work life."

In regards to Andrea's daily responsibilities as a Product Owner, he also explained that the training was very useful to him in a sense that it suggested a couple of techniques applicable to his many day-to-day activities, added a new perspective and fresh view in how he approaches his work.

 

"(...) Distinct ways of working of colleagues who have the same role, this is the base for easier collaboration and better understanding in the everyday work life."

 

Thank you, Andrea, for joining us today and sharing your training experience with us and thank you Duncan Skelton and our learning and development team for shaping this experience for our Product Owners!
