Gartner Executive FastStart™ for Chief Product Officers

Gartner Executive FastStart helps you excel in your first year — and beyond.

Gartner Executive FastStart provides a critical advantage to an incredibly complex role

New chief product officers (CPOs) are charged with aligning product messaging with enterprise goals, analyzing how to leverage GenAI to create standout products and ensure your organization stays ahead of the curve, and prioritizing and investing in emerging tech across the entire portfolio. That’s on top of the inevitable learning curve of a new remit.

Executive FastStart doesn’t just identify these common challenges; it empowers you to overcome them by prioritizing what matters most — whether you’re a tenured CPO at a new company or you’ve risen through the ranks at your organization.
