Never before have we been able to build products as quickly as we do now. AI has unlocked unprecedented speed in coding, content, and deployment. That’s a good thing, right?
Maybe... Speed is only an asset if you are moving in the right direction. The pressure to "show we are using AI" is real but, moving fast without a compass leads to building the wrong things—faster than ever before.
Join Vidya Dinamani (Product Rebels, Author of Groundwork, Product Management Coach) for a critical look at why getting back to basics is the secret to winning in the age of AI.
In this afternoon workshop, Vidya will cover why it is now more important than ever to:
- Clarify your company strategy: Ensure your speed serves your business objectives.
- Identify 'Who' your customer is: Don't let AI replace customer empathy.
This is a hands-on, get mucky, ‘dig into how it really is’ workshop with Vidya sharing insights from the framework she uses with companies and founders to create customer driven organisations that consistently develop products people actually want.
