The CPO Transition

The CPO seat is being rewritten faster than any other seat in the exec room. When a working prototype costs a day, the roadmap stops being the job. The job becomes the operating model that turns customer outcomes into shipped software: the substrate, the listening loop, the eval bar, the org shape, and the margin. This series is for CPOs and the CEOs and boards who hire them. Two parts a week, each written against that week's findings. Part 1 is the thesis.
