If you want to be the first to hear about new programs, sign up for our newsletter at productsthatcount.com TOPIC: Sam's Club Product Lead on Product Meets Culture Product management has become a function in most organizations, even the more traditional ones, and as a result, companies that traditionally haven't had product managers are hiring them. But it can be challenging to build a product culture in organizations that have aren't familiar with product management. How do product managers drive results in situations where product isn't the company's core competency? Sam's Club (part of Walmart E-Commerce) Product Lead Sharon Su Plasser will talk about how product defines company culture - sharing her experiences about what it's like to lead product teams when there's more at stake than simply building products.
