Leading with AI: Product Strategy in the Age of Automation
Is your product strategy keeping pace with how fast AI is evolving?
Most teams are still treating AI like a feature, not a foundation. The result? Misaligned priorities, wasted cycles, and products that miss the mark.
That’s why we’re hosting a Product & Technology Mastermind with one of the sharpest operators in the space:
Mike Bal, Head of AI and Digital Product at David’s Bridal and former product leader at Automattic and DocuSign.
Mike has built and scaled innovative products inside household brands, consulted with Google, Microsoft, and Starbucks, and now leads AI transformation at a retail giant—helping teams shift from tactical AI add-ons to strategic, customer-centered innovation.
This isn’t a panel. It’s a working session for product leaders navigating what’s next.
You’ll bring real challenges to the table, and Mike will guide the group through a round-robin discussion designed to generate fresh insight, proven frameworks, and peer-driven solutions.
Who this is for:
Product & tech leaders navigating AI integration
Founders rethinking their product roadmap for 2025
Execs leading innovation in mid-market and enterprise environments
Format:
60-minute interactive mastermind: guided discussion + peer feedback + action commitments.
What you’ll gain:
How to align product strategy with AI capabilities (and avoid the shiny-object trap)
Lessons from implementing AI across legacy orgs and startup teams alike
Frameworks for building human-centered digital products that don’t lose their soul to automation
Peer feedback on your top product or AI challenge
