SEPTalks: Stuck Between Strategy & Execution—Can AI Help?

3:00 – Registration & Refreshments
3:30 – Session Begins (90 mins)

So often, the journey from strategic vision to successful execution remains challenging for product teams. This talk outlines our process for moving from strategy to execution and asks, “Can generative AI help along this journey, and where?”

In this talk, we will:

• Cover our proven process for moving from strategy to execution
• Demonstrate where we’re experimenting with generative AI to unlock key decision points
• Explore common roadblocks organizations face when translating product strategy into actionable plans, including
• the constraints of sequential option evaluation,
• overconfidence bias,
• and insufficient assumption testing.

See how these emerging methods might benefit from generative AI to enhance traditional product development practices. Through interactive discussion, we’ll explore how AI tools could enhance decision-making, surface hidden assumptions, and accelerate hypothesis validation. Attendees will be invited to share their own experiences and experiments using AI in their product development lifecycle.

This session is perfect for product leaders, managers, and stakeholders who are ready to dive into AI’s potential in product development.

Join us for an interactive session where you’ll be invited to share your experiences and challenges bringing AI to product development.
