Business Metrics for Product Leaders

Corinna Stukan

Learn how to speak the business language

Think like a business owner, not just a product manager.

Most product leaders I've worked with are smart, capable, and genuinely care about building great products. But when the conversation turns to revenue drivers, cost structures, or what's actually moving the needle for the business - they go quiet.

What I've learned after 17 years leading product, and now running my own FinTech company: this is not about having a business degree. It's a confidence gap.

Commercial acumen isn't about reading every line of a P&L. It's about understanding the core mechanics of how your business makes money - the key revenue drivers, who your most valuable customers are, and where the biggest costs sit. Get that right, and your product decisions sharpen, your roadmap conversations change, and your influence as a leader grows.

In this half-day workshop, we bridge this confidence gap. I've run it with teams at Westpac, Visa, WooliesX and NZ Post - and the shift is immediate.

People who walked in saying "I'm not a numbers person" leave with a clear framework for understanding business metrics, a one-pager that connects their product work to business strategy, and the confidence to walk into any commercial conversation and hold their own.

Workshop agenda

  • The gap between product and business leaders

    Why so many smart product leaders go quiet in commercial conversations - and why closing that gap is the single biggest lever for your career and your team's impact.

  • How businesses make money

    We unpack the core mechanics: revenue drivers, cost drivers, different business models, and how customer value is linked.

  • Business & product metrics that matter

    Learn about essential business metrics every product leader should know - from CAC to LTV to thinking about cashflow of the business. Understand how product metrics link to those.

  • Reading business performance updates like an exec

    We practice unpacking real company business updates. You'll leave knowing what your CEO and CFO are actually looking at - and how to talk to it confidently.

  • Build your Metrics One Pager

    The workshop centrepiece. You'll build your own one-pager connecting your team's product metrics directly to business strategy - using a framework that works across industries.

  • Speaking the business language

    How to take this into your next exec meeting, roadmap conversation, or board presentation. We close with Q&A and your personal commitment for your next presentation.
