Lunch & Learn - Future Ready Teams

Closing the Gap Between Industry Change and Talent Readiness

A Lunch & Learn for Industry Partners

Hosted by the University of Oregon Sports Product Management

The sports and outdoor industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace - yet many teams are struggling to keep talent equipped for what’s next.

Over the summer, the University of Oregon Sports Product Management (SPM) team spoke with industry leaders across product creation, development, merchandising, brand, go-to-market, sourcing, manufacturing, and learning & development. One signal was consistent across conversations: the industry is changing faster than teams are being equipped to keep up.

This Lunch & Learn is an opportunity to hear what we learned, understand where capability gaps are emerging, and preview how SPM plans to help address these challenges through new, industry-relevant learning experiences launching this spring.

What You’ll Take Away

• Key insights and patterns from SPM’s industry listening tour
• A clearer view of where skills and capability gaps are showing up across teams
• An early look at how SPM is responding with practical, future-focused learning offerings

Who Should Attend

• Learning & Development leaders
• Senior functional leaders focused on building future-ready teams

The event will be held in the Library & Learning Center, Room 311. A Light lunch will be provided.

We look forward to sharing what we heard, where we’re headed, and continuing the conversation with industry leaders shaping the future of work in sports and outdoor.
