AI for Product Managers and Leaders
In this interactive session, I'll share battle-tested frameworks for integrating AI into your product practice based on my 20+ years of product leadership experience and my work teaching AI skills to product teams.

​

You'll learn:

  • How to use AI as four distinct personas (Assistant, Thought Partner, Creator, and Editor) to multiply your productivity

  • A practical framework for evaluating where AI can have the highest impact across your product lifecycle

  • Specific techniques for using AI to accelerate market analysis, requirements development, and stakeholder communications

  • How to build and upskill AI-ready product teams using my AI Competencies Assessment Framework

Program Options

Building AI-Empowered Product Teams

Most product teams approach AI adoption chaotically - everyone experimenting with different tools, no coordination, inconsistent results. Drawing from my 20+ years of product leadership experience and my work coaching product teams through AI transformation, I'll guide you from chaos to confidence with proven frameworks and hands-on practice. â€‹

​

You'll learn:

  • The Six Personas of Product Leadership framework and how AI is transforming each role from Strategic Orchestra Conductor to Innovation Architect

  • How to systematically identify high-value AI opportunities using the ABCD Method (Analyze, Brainstorm, Conduct, Diagnose & Iterate)

  • Practical demonstrations of AI applications across the complete product lifecycle - from customer insights to release automation

  • How to assess your team's AI readiness and create targeted development plans using the AI Competencies Framework 

  • Actionable strategies for moving your organization from scattered AI experiments to strategic, confident implementation

How to Be an Effective Product Leader
The leap from individual contributor to product leader requires a fundamental mindset shift that few are prepared for. Drawing from my two decades of product leadership experience and my work as a professor of strategy, I'll share the frameworks I wish I'd had when I first became a product leader.

​

You'll discover:

  • Why treating your team as your product is the key to successful product leadership

  • How to build a team roadmap that develops capabilities aligned with business strategy

  • Practical techniques for scaling your impact through delegation and coaching

  • A framework for measuring your success through team outcomes rather than individual contributions
