AI Workflows for Lean Product Teams

About this event

Lean product teams don't have the luxury of dedicated AI specialists or months to experiment. They need practical ways to move faster without adding headcount or complexity. Hosted by Leading the Product and generously supported by Stone & Chalk at their Melbourne CBD headquarters, this evening brings together speakers for a candid panel discussion. Speakers: • Emily Mason (https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilymason2/): VP of Product @ The Martec • Josh Centner (https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshcentner/): Head of Product - Platform, Reliability, DX and Quality @ Netwealth • Mark Oliver (https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdavidoliver/): General Manager of Professional Services @ Brainmates • Last Speaker announced soon. This session brings together a panel of product leaders and practitioners who've been in the trenches, integrating AI into their day-to-day workflows. Expect candid discussion on topics like: • Where AI genuinely accelerates discovery, delivery, and decision-making, and where it doesn't • Tools and workflows lean teams are using to punch above their weight • The organisational and cultural shifts needed to make AI adoption stick • Common pitfalls, false starts, and lessons learned the hard way • How to balance speed with quality when your team is small Whether you're just starting to experiment with AI in your product process or looking to sharpen an existing workflow, you'll leave with practical insights you can apply immediately, straight from teams who've done the work. Following the panel discussion, we'll open things up for audience Q&A before continuing the conversation over drinks and networking with Melbourne's Product community.
