AI is changing not only what product teams can build, but also what they need to take responsibility for. As digital products increasingly affect privacy, safety, fairness, human agency, and the environment, product ethics can no longer be an afterthought, a checklist exercise carried out just before the product is shipped. Instead, ethicality should be a core product success factor that is as important as desirability, feasibility, and viability. In this article, I explain how you can make ethicality part of your innovation process, consider it when creating and updating the product strategy, and measure how ethical your product is.
Every product has to create real value for a group of people and the business, at least in theory. But in practice, that’s not always the case. Worse, it can be tricky to understand if and to what extent a product does achieve the desired business impact and help the company move forward. With AI driving more digital products, it’s more important than ever to successfully connect products and business strategy and make smart investment decisions. This article shows you how to do it.

This episode explains how to do it.
Over the past few years, many product teams have built AI fluency and started to apply AI to their work and products. That’s great, but it’s not enough to fully leverage AI in product management. Without the right product operating model in place, AI delivers only limited benefits. In this article, I explain why this is and how you can create an effective product management approach that is optimised for AI.

“If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you,” Steve Jobs once said. Creating such forward momentum is a key benefit that a product vision should offer. Unfortunately, I’ve seen many visions that failed to move people. In this article, I explain how you can create a truly inspirational vision that engages and motivates people.

As product management becomes increasingly data-driven and AI-powered, one human capability is growing in importance: emotional intelligence. In this article, you’ll discover why emotional intelligence is a critical complement to data, analytics, and AI, how it helps product managers and product leaders create better products and build stronger relationships, and why it may have a greater impact on product success than intellectual ability alone. You’ll also learn practical techniques for strengthening your emotional intelligence—from increasing self-awareness and self-management to developing empathy, active listening, and conflict-resolution skills.

Is it a good thing when product managers are hands-on and use AI to build prototypes and generate code? Will it increase productivity and job satisfaction? Will it deliver better products faster? Or will it result in poorly designed applications full of technical debt that nobody wants and needs?
