You Are Not Playing With A Full Deck: book launch

**Is your product workgroup or design or dev team, playing with a ‘full deck’?**

Returning ProductTank Orlando presenter, and serial innovation author – **Stephen Shapiro** – will show us how to take our product team performance next level in the chaotic age of algorithms.

How? Stephen created a brilliant deck of cards to help workgroups be at their innovative best. It’s called **Personality Poker**. And if you’ve seen a few ‘type systems’ in your day, this one is really something different and quite special.

As Stephen says, *”Contrary to conventional wisdom, opposites don’t attract. So we tend to surround ourselves with people who are similar to us. Great for efficiency, but sameness kills innovation.”*

**So, how can you increase your product innovation potential?**

Come out and play **Personality Poker** with **us**!
(no betting or knowledge of poker required)

You will discover:

* Your primary innovation personality (and blind spots)
* Why the person you like the least is the person you need the most
* What is missing from your team that is limiting innovation
* Why the human perspective is ultimately the only differentiator in a digital AI-driven world

And, maybe we’ll even throw a bonus hypothesis in there – ***As we onboard ai-teammates, should we play personality poker with them, too???***

Stephen will be signing and giving away copies of [his new book](https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Not-Playing-Full-Deck-ebook/dp/B0GQVXKV4D/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9G9FSQ93QR5A&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KTPDtTKqN4-_W_C8JWWDxlv6fNcsjTH3C3zQJqnHQKLGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps._n3H0yfic5Qy3ogU8pVY4yViuZe1k-ak8IeUJi8M2tw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stephen+shapiro+playing+with+a+full+deck&qid=1773691180&sprefix=stephen+shapiro+playing+with+a+full+deck%2Caps%2C222&sr=8-1), too!
