If only we had more product managers and fewer project managers - and more leaders who knew the difference.

I don't, though I do know a few people in DD who think like product managers. But I'm more interested in the conceptual side than the management side.

Yeah D2 - do you know anyone at Deloitte with an AIPMM? Let's study for it together then we'll each know at least one.

Solution architect and Product Manager are great, but I'm repeatedly told those roles don't exist in D (or all the PM roles are taken in studios). Where should I be looking?

Studios don't really have product manager roles. If you want to be a product manager, you'd have to take a functional lead role and meld it into something more PM-like. Solution architects do exist, if you have the right technical expertise.

Yea studio does not really do product manager role

Tomorrow, I know I will be asked to continue pushing forward with pre planned campaigns that upsell products and services that to groups already in dire straits.

If this results and BAU does not change, is it more right to leave my job? Or stay where change is needed?
