Last Thursday's inaugural "open house," an informal get-together in Forrester's Foster City, CA office , achieved what we had hoped: lively conversation on a topic of immediate interest for product managers and product marketers. We're definitely planning to do more of these events, so the critical question now is, What topics should we cover?
To the extent that the format drives the questions, here's what it means to do an open house:
- Somewhat unstructured conversation about the topic. (We'll continue to tune how much structure to impose.)
- Forrester analysts provide occasional data points and insights from our research to inform the discussion.
- Some time for attendees to talk with each other, outside the group discussion. (Something we didn't do last time, but definitely want to add to the next session.)
Here's a link to a Survey Monkey questionnaire where you can vote on some hot topics, or suggest other ones. There are always more topics that we might cover, so let your imagination run wild.
