How to align product work to business goals | Corinna Stukan (CEO, Bizzy)
Corinna Stukan, Product Leader and Founder of Fintech marketplace Bizzy, lays out practical advice for connecting your product roadmap to business goals. She explains how a metrics one-pager aligns day-to-day product decisions with company goals, why understanding whether your business is in growth, acquisition or cost-control mode should shape every prioritisation call, and how to frame initiatives so stakeholders see commercial impact, not just better UX.Key takeaways
— Be curious about the business model, not obsessive about the accounts. Ask “how does the company make money?” and align work to that simple answer.
— Map metrics top-down. A one-pager linking company goals → product contributions → leading indicators fixes prioritisation and alignment quickly.
— Know the company mode. Growth, acquisition or cost-cutting mode should change your prioritisation and pitch.
— Keep arguments tight: two or three points. Limit slides and arguments so stakeholders remember the key message.
— Share context and invite ideas. Leaders must expose goals; product teams should frame bets against them, not only request resources.
— Steer clear of the attribution game. Many initiatives are joint efforts; focus on narrative and contribution rather than perfect mathematical credit.
— Use LLMs for synthesis, not empathy. Automate aggregation of qualitative feedback and KPI summaries, but practise reading the room and asking discovery questions in person.
— Treat presentations as discovery. Ask what keeps stakeholders up at night, then refine your story for the next meeting.
