Use the power of stories to convince your audience of your ideas

Stakeholders who look at you in confusion? Potential customers who just won't understand your great product? Or a steering committee that can't be convinced?
In a working world characterised by ever-greater fragmentation and constant change, storytelling is increasingly becoming a valuable skill. Stories help us to understand complex projects by making connections and focusing on their meaning.

This meetup will introduce you to storytelling techniques to help you guide your audience through complex topics. If you're a good storyteller, you'll engage your audience and harness the power of good stories to boost the success of your project and product vision.

What you will learn:

• How to use the power of stories to get feedback on your product
• What the common narrative patterns are and how to use them
• How to use narrative techniques to explain complex problems in an understandable way
• Practical exercises

This session is ideal for you when you are working as a

• Product Owner
• Business Analyst
• UX Designer
• Project or Business Lead

Are you a Product Owner, Business Analyst, UX Designer or Requirements Engineer navigating an ever-shifting product world?

Join us for an interactive session where we explore how roles evolve, how skills shape our impact – and what it takes to grow in complexity.

This meetup is all about reflecting on product roles and development:

• How are our roles evolving – and why?
• What are the skills that really matter today?
• How can I assess where I stand – and how to grow?

You’ll get introduced to a compact skill framework designed for digital product professionals. Together, we’ll complete a quick skill self-check, discuss role shifts, and walk away with actionable insights and next steps.

Why this matters
Digital product work is no longer about fixed roles or linear processes.
We're facing:

• More complexity, fewer clear paths
• More collaboration across domains and functions
• More data, but less certainty
• Faster tech cycles and rising user expectations

In this reality, skills like problem framing, systems thinking, user understanding, and strategic collaboration become core to product success. It’s not about knowing everything – it’s about knowing what to develop next.

Who is this for?
This session is designed for people working in and around digital product teams:

• Product Owners
• Business Analysts
• UX Designers
• Requirements Engineers

Whether you're deep in the craft or shaping your role at the edge of your discipline, this session helps you reflect, connect, and chart a path forward.
