We recently ran our webinar on implementing a technology solution to automate and organise [Design and Distribution Obligations ](https://www.skyjed.com/blog/design-and-distribution-obligations-ddo)(DDO) compliance. The topics covered:

- [Regulators phasing out templated solutions globally](https://www.skyjed.com/blog/ddo-update-from-asic-commissioner) (i.e. you will be implementing an obsolete solution)
- Reduce the cost of compliance with a Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Increased productivity with automated reporting and action management
- Ease of distributor and regulator interaction

 

Here are some of the top insights from the webinar that was attended by  industry leaders and various Chief Product Officers in the country.

 

### **Overall Theme Uplift / strengthen product management**

Leadership teams are using the DDO opportunity to go beyond transactional compliance in risk systems and focus on product-led growth and strengthen **product management capability. **

**So what do some of these capabilities look like?**

1. Resetting CPO or product manager role to fully manage lifecycle for product portfolio. 
2. Agile innovation to deliver value to customers
3. Uplifting product governance lifecycle newly added to focus. 

 

**Embracing technology solution**

**Establishing a new operating rhythm** – more frequent product reviews – Monthly monitoring, product risk actions and resetting product strategy every 90 days. What is best-in-class and can the framework be fully automated.

 

### **Board Involvement**

**[Board reporting](https://www.skyjed.com/blog/the-questions-boards-should-ask-about-product-governance) or C-level monthly report** on product growth governance with product [health metrics](https://support.skyjed.com/knowledge/what-is-a-skyjed-product-health-check-score) including **non financial risk.**
