"The Corporate Innovation Playbook” is the one of the most comprehensive studies on the pragmatic aspects of getting innovation planned and done inside companies. What are the biggest contributors and barriers to mapping out and implementing innovation inside companies? What are companies doing now? Why? What is innovation’s potential impact on their overall business? What will change in the future? What are their unfair challenges & advantages vs. startups?
This study, conducted by an futureproofing and transformation firm Wikibrands and built in partnership with global innovation experts at Catalyst3, 5&Vine, IScale, J Five, Liminal, New Cottage Industries & Co, Paul Barter & Associates and Scope Communications, will interview over 40 corporate innovation leaders and survey more than 250+ innovation practitioners and experts to answer these questions and more. We find too much innovation research to be focused on early stage, elegant but “head in the clouds” observation or strictly academic analysis - we want to distill the DNA of “innovation in the wild”.
We are hoping the results go to some length in providing answers to: improving corporate innovation growth & success rates, identifying the right types of leadership, ambitions and routes to market, presenting relatable lighthouse examples, and understanding the future pace, evolution, attractive business models, headlines and debates facing corporate innovators over the next 5 years.

2. Hello!
We're thrilled you're thinking about joining us on our mission to give people the power to build
community and bring the world closer together. At Facebook you'll have the opportunity to do
the most meaningful work of your career. And our journey is 1% finished!
BE OPEN: We believe that a more open world is a better world. The same goes for our
company. We're transparent about our interview process and what to expect so that you are
well-informed, well-prepared and can focus on having great conversations with your
interviewers.
This guide will explain what you can expect in our 5 fundamental interview areas for Product -
Technical Program Manager (TPM):
1. Technical Project Retrospective
2. Architecture and System Design
3. Program Sense
4. Partnership
5. Leadership/Team Collaboration
Please be prepared to be on campus for about 5-hours. The interviewers you will meet with
are Technical Program Managers, Software Engineers and Product Managers. Your interview
consists of consecutive 45-minute, one-on-one sessions (with a possible interview trainee
shadowing). The interviewers will focus on three core axes: Program Management, Leadership
Ability and Technical Depth. Lastly, we would love to understand your interests and
motivations for joining Facebook.
3. Technical Project Retrospective
WHAT TO EXPECT
We are interested in how you demonstrate thorough technical knowledge of past programs in
depth. We're also interested in candidates who can demonstrate a strong understanding of
basic software concepts with the ability to dive into technical details. This would center
around technical dependencies, tradeoffs, resource planning and how you mitigate risk. We
recommend that candidates review these concepts prior to the interview. Any technical skills
listed in your resume will be a point of focus during your interview.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• CS Fundamentals
• Algorithm Design/Analysis
• Design/Architecture
• Data Structures
• System Design
• Scalability/Distributed Systems/Web Services
• Facebook Platform and Products - what you would do to improve or change them
• Program Management Approaches to Challenging Scenarios - technical and non-technical
BUILD SOCIAL VALUE: As you think about how to break down and solve a problem, it's
important to keep in mind how you'll build real value for the world. We design products that
create a more human world - one connection at a time.
4. Architecture and System Design
WHAT TO EXPECT
We are interested in your approach to solving an ambiguous problem that is outside of your
area of expertise. We're also interested in candidates who can demonstrate a strong
understanding of basic software concepts and have the ability to dive into technical details.
We recommend that candidates review these concepts prior to the interview.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• Clear understanding by asking clarifying questions to better understand the goal.
• Propose a design for a product/system and break it down into components that can be
built independently.
• Identify the bottlenecks as the product/system scales and show that you can poke holes
in the design.
• Understand how to adapt your solution when requirements are changed and how you
communicate this across partner teams.
• Draw diagrams that clearly describe the relationship between the different components in
your product/system.
• Calculate (back-of-the-envelope) the physical resources necessary to make this product/
system work.
• Create necessary tests and identify how to judge the success of your product/system.
FOCUS ON IMPACT: The goals that you set should solve the most important problem to
advance the vision of your product. As you consider multiple goals for your project, it's
important to hone in on the most important one that delivers the most value, resulting in the
highest opportunity for impact.
5. Program Sense
WHAT TO EXPECT
The role of a Facebook TPM can be broken down into these core areas: influencers, identifying
technical dependencies, product context, simplify complexity and execution strategy. The
interviewers will be looking for demonstrated ability in these areas.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• How you define roadmap milestones and execute
• How you balance between scope, time, resources and manage risk
• How you support the people around you and communicate to partnering teams
• How you overcome difficult situations
WHY WE ASK
Being a Technical Program Manager at Facebook means driving impact and delivering
measurable results across a wide range of areas. Great TPMs are excellent leaders who strive
for flawless execution against company-wide goals.
Empathy helps us to identify greatness in others and find the best in ourselves. We often need
to be flexible with our leadership style in different situations to collaborate effectively and
reconcile differences.
BE BOLD: We encourage everyone to make bold decisions, even if that means being wrong
some of the time. Be transparent about your successes and failures. We're more interested in
how you've grown from your experiences than whether or not you have a perfect record.
6. Partnership
WHAT TO EXPECT
You will be asked questions that focus on deep diving into your experience working with and
driving successful cross-functional collaboration, including your personal communication
style. Be prepared for situational questions around identifying and troubleshooting project
bottlenecks, discussions with engineers around design and adapting your approach and
solutions when the situation or requirements change.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• Examples of bridging the gap between engineering teams and less technical
cross-functional teams
• How you build relationships and resolve conflicting priorities across teams
• How you get buy-in from peers who may be resistant to your goals
• How you address the most difficult personal challenges you've faced
MOVE FAST: Moving fast enables us to build more things and learn faster. We're less afraid
of making mistakes than we are of losing opportunities by moving too slowly. As you think
through these questions, challenge yourself to think about how you'd learn as much as
possible as quickly as possible, even if your answer isn't perfect.
7. Leadership/Team Collaboration
WHAT TO EXPECT
In this interview we'll focus on understanding how you motivate a team, resolve conflicts, drive
alignment, build relationships and work with others. Be prepared to provide examples of how
you resolved difficult team dynamics or worked through challenges throughout the program
lifecycle. Relationship building with the ability to influence is key.
WHAT WE ARE RE LOOKING FOR
• Examples of operating in ambiguous and undefined projects
• Examples of moving quickly and being resourceful
• What motivates you in your job
• How have you collectively found ways to meet team goals
• Your leadership style and ability to influence
• How to work cross-functionally and collaborate with your direct and partnering teams
• How you work with your direct team and partnering team to resolve conflict
8. Reminders
BEFORE YOUR INTERVIEW
• Think of the impact you've made in prior roles. We'll want to hear about the cool things
you've made!
• Familiarize yourself with our 5 core values - move fast, be bold, focus on impact, be open
and build social value. This is how we work together to bring the world closer together.
We look for people who believe in these values and practice them daily.
• Think of questions for us in advance. You'll most likely have some time at the end of
interview to ask whatever is on your mind.
DURING YOUR INTERVIEW
• Think out loud. Talk through your reasoning, it helps your interviewer follow along and
learn about your problem-solving skills.
• Write out a working solution and iterate. Some candidates find jotting down thoughts on a
notepad or whiteboard to be helpful. We encourage you to do whatever makes you most
comfortable.
• Listen for hints. If your interviewer give you hints or prompts you in a certain direction, run
with it.
• Drive the interview. Be sure to ask clarifying questions, state your assumptions and take
time to gather your thoughts if you need.
