Companies are beginning to realise the benefits of diverse teams. However, have product managers caught on to the same trick when connecting with users?
In this weeks’ Sunday Rewind, we go all the way back to #mtpengage Hamburg 2018, where product director at Xing, Mirja Bester, shared how she thinks that by making diversity a key objective, product teams can increase their business value.

- Initially dive deep
- Leave your home turf
- Go incognito for a bit
- Quantify early
