Mirela's Talk: Transforming Product Organizations Beyond the Buzzwords.. Now Including AI

“The Product Management world came through a rude awakening when the ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policies) ended in March 2022. And companies became tight on cash.
This forced us to mature fast and go beyond pedaling Agile, OKRs, and others without showing a clear ROI.
So how can you transform and improve your Product Organization to survive and thrive in a difficult climate?
And how will Gen AI accelerate our life and work?”
