Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched.

Since 2001, Agile has undergone a significant transformation. Initially envisioned as a way to decentralize and democratize work processes, its journey has been anything but straightforward. I've seen, firsthand, how organisations have struggled to fully embrace Agile's core principles. Often, there's a tendency to revert to hierarchical, command-and-control structures, which runs counter to the Agile ethos.

So you're a Product Owner. The Value Maximizer. How do you do that? The basic idea is simple. You create value for customers and users, then capture some of that value for yourself, or your company. We phrase this as creating customer or user outcomes with your product, which then leads to company impacts. As simple as the basic idea is, apparently putting it into practice is awfully hard.
