“From Tradition to Transformation: Carrefour's evolution towards a Product Organization" by Valérie Legat

Valérie Legat, Chief Digital Factory Officer, shares the results of 14 months' work with her Product teams at Carrefour and the transformation of their organization.

Key takeaways:

• Stay user-centric. Even in times of transition, keep the user at the forefront of all decision-making processes, and constantly strive to understand and satisfy their needs.
• Have a solid foundation. Build pillars of support on which to iterate, with a framework that accompanies you throughout the transformation (Discovery Discipline's F.O.C.U.S.E.D framework, for example).
• Execute before asking. In a large organization with many processes, don't be afraid to “do” before asking permission. The aim is to get things moving and to quickly validate hypotheses.
