When Speed Isn't Enough: Strategy for Product Leaders
Wed, Apr 29, 1:00 AM***Special Thanks*** *to our generous **Sponsor**:* * **[Productboard](https://www.productboard.com/product/spark/)**: Turn customer insights into strategic clarity and ship what matters most with **[Spark](https://www.productboard.com/product/spark/)**, Productboard's new agentic platform. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀─────────────────────── AI is making software **faster and easier to build than ever**. But the companies pulling ahead aren't the ones adding chatbots - they're rethinking their business models entirely. Abundance reshapes product work more than scarcity ever did. Intercom moved to outcome-based pricing and grew $100M+ in ARR. Kive scrapped its entire product category and rebuilt around generative AI. Both succeeded at the strategy layer, not the feature layer. When teams can execute faster than ever, **strategic clarity is what separates velocity from wasted motion**. This session is for product leaders ready to stop asking "where do we add AI?" and start asking "which problems are worth solving now?" **Key Takeaways** 1. Why lower-cost software creates more demand — not less work 2. How to apply AI at the strategy level, not just the backlog 3. How to recognize when AI changes your business model — not just your tools 4. Techniques for maintaining strategic clarity when execution outpaces direction ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀─────────────────────── **Schedule** 6:00-6:30 PM — Doors, Food, Drinks, & Networking 6:30-6:45 PM — 15-minute lightning talk on **Spark**, **Productboard's** agentic platform, that takes product managers from customer insight to delivery-ready spec faster than ever, including a live walkthrough. 6:30-6:50 PM — ProductTank and Martin Eriksson Introduction 6:50-7:35 PM — Martin Eriksson Presentation 7:35-8:00 PM — Q&A 8:00-8:30 PM — Networking & **Spark** demos
In Person Family Constellation in Berkeley
Sun, Apr 26, 9:00 PM**Join this Family Constellation held in Berkeley CA.** A Family Constellation puts a family system into the physical space where we can discover entanglements deeply entrenched in a family's trauma and identity. Family Constellations may give insight into the root causes of our limiting beliefs, such as uncovering an unconscious loyalty to an ancestor. When it’s out in the open, we can see the throughlines. See the root causes. Find openings to resolution. At the heart of Family Constellations are two main tenets: 1. Acknowledging what is: The group work may highlight limiting beliefs or those unconscious and deeply entrenched rules that defined how we first belonged. Uncovering the beliefs is the first pivotal step towards change. 2. Bringing forth radical inclusion: Family Constellations are guided by the Orders of Love. Part of the work may be to bring back someone who has been forgotten (whether they were purposefully written out of the family history or because remembering was too painful). Once identified, the work is to restore them to their right place in the family system. Similar to epigenetics where traumatic events literally change the trajectory of a family's DNA coding, Family Constellations can shift foundational beliefs so that the client and their descendants can move toward freedom. Yvette holds monthly in person Family Constellations. To find out additional dates, please message her.
