» What happens when anyone in your org can build and ship product?
» GenAI is creating a productivity disparity between companies using it by default and those which are not
» Investors are increasingly valuing companies based on ‘revenue per employee’ (≈ efficiency)
» Job interviews are a terrible way to assess how someone will perform in role
» All genAI companies are evil, but some are less evil
» Accumulated inefficiency has come back to bite organisations – what to do about it
And is the increasing reliance by junior developers on AI coding assistants storing up a generational skills shortage for the future – ‘professional debt’, if you will?
» Implementing AI means assessing user needs and your data sources
» AI technologies run the risk of creating harm — how are you planning for that?
» LLMs and genAI open up new vectors for novel attacks that need to be countered
New technology is not going to suddenly make all the challenges facing an organisation disappear overnight. Why? Because more often than not, those challenges are social not technological. Technology alone rarely solves ‘people problems’.
» The negative effects of social media algorithms were an early warning for the consequences of generative AI
» As product managers, we have a duty of care to our users
» The unpredictability of genAI poses varying risks of harm to users depending on the context
» Comprehensive introductory training on large language models (LLMs)
» Nonverbal communication can make assistive robots more effective
» Practical suggestions to foster greater alignment between product and go-to-market teams
» In time our use of genAI will balance out with the human touch
» Learn what genAI can and can’t do, and how far it can be trusted
» LLMs will most likely take over the routine writing that holds organisations together
» “This is what we learned, and here’s how we’re going to adjust our plan”
» As with strategy, studying and predicting the future isn’t an innate skill but a muscle you can build
» AI will eventually have its “plane crash moment”
» Balancing opportunity with strategy in the midst of competing distractions is hard
» You wouldn’t let genAI write your product strategy without checking it, right?
» Product strategy discovery focuses on the problem space
