Why CPOs choose this
The higher you rise, the harder it becomes to think clearly. CPOs today operate in a world of conflicting agendas, mounting pressure, and limited time. They must align internal stakeholders, manage strategic suppliers, lead large global teams — all while driving transformation. And yet, they’re often surrounded by people who agree, not those who challenge.
This retainer offers something rare: a neutral, experienced voice. Someone who helps you reflect, ask better questions, and see around corners — with practical insights drawn from the best in automotive, tech, and beyond.
The program is grounded in the ideas of The CPO — a novel written by Christian Schuh, based on real-world leadership dilemmas and strategic choices. As the lead author, he brings both intellectual clarity and deep personal experience to every conversation.
