An operator’s guide to product strategy | Chandra Janakiraman (CPO at VRChat, ex-Meta, Headspace)

Chandra Janakiraman, CPO at VRChat and former Meta executive, shares his operator's guide to product strategy development through a methodical 5-phase process taking 8-12 weeks. He outlines both 'small s' strategy (2-year horizon, problem-focused) and 'big S' strategy (5-10 year horizon, aspirational future-focused), emphasizing the importance of cross-functional collaboration, leadership alignment, and testing strategy through execution rather than just documentation.
