Player 2 has entered the game: when product sticks its nose into growth’s business

In this talk, I share the story of how the founders' request to create a marketplace at our startup, led to an unexpected solution. Spoiler alert: we didn’t build a marketplace. Faced with the challenge, we pivoted away from simply fulfilling the request to deeply analyzing what would truly drive growth while keeping the core idea in mind. This talk reveals how we aligned our solution with business outcomes, utilized customer networks for growth, and prioritized long-term value over quick financial gains, transforming a straightforward request to build a marketplace into a robust growth engine

What I've learned from my child about product management

I am the proud father of an 18-year-old girl who has been part of Benjamina's robotics groups for the past 6 years. This year, she serves as one of the team captains, and just a month ago, her team achieved first place in the World Robotics Championship - FRC, surpassing thousands of teams worldwide. Over the years, I've delved deeper into this world, discovering unique methodologies and strategies that offer valuable lessons for product managers in high-tech companies.

In the FRC competition, each year presents a new challenge where teams must build a robot within a tight schedule. They start competing just six weeks after the global announcement of the competition's structure and rules for that year. Unlike product launches that allow for adjustments, there's no room for rejection; teams must innovate and compete with the resources available. The process involves meticulous planning, rapid production, extensive software development (for the robot and supporting systems), and continuous iteration over the two-month competition period. This team continuously refines its methodology year by year, achieving unprecedented success - no Israeli team has previously won at this level, which is usually dominated by teams from the USA with budgets ten times larger and support from sponsors like NASA, Boeing, and Apple.

For us as product managers, learning from a group of young individuals (alongside mature mentors who have integrated into the high-tech industry) who represent the future of technology is both fascinating and invaluable. These insights will be showcased in my upcoming lecture, providing concrete examples of innovative strategies and methodologies.

Harnessing the GenAI Storm – A practical guide for product managers

I integrated a GenAI model into my products and lived to tell the tale.

Since ChatGPT burst into our lives in November 2022, the hype around Generative AI (GenAI) has reached new heights. Today, there is hardly a tech organization that isn't integrating or considering integrating GenAI into their processes and products, sometimes justifiably, sometimes not.

As product leaders, we are often seen as those who need to bring the vision and insight on how to incorporate this technology into the products we manage. In this talk, I will attempt to cut through the hype and simplify the topic with practical tools for product managers, based on my experience working with GenAI capabilities in Microsoft's health group over the past year.

By the end of the lecture, I hope you'll have the knowledge to:

When and why it is appropriate to use GenAI

The available options, along with their advantages and disadvantages

How to consider aspects of Safety, Security, and Responsible AI

From Product to Business: A CEO's Eye-Opening Journey

It's only by changing roles that you can shift your perspective and see what was just in front of you, but you weren’t able to see. Join us for an insightful talk where Noa Danon, a seasoned product leader turned CEO, shares a candid journey of realizations and revelations. Transitioning from a product-centric role to the helm of a company, she encountered a series of eye-opening surprises about the business world. This talk will dissect several stark assumptions commonly held by product professionals and contrast them with the gritty realities of leading a business. This session is not just about the transition but also about the lessons learned that can empower product leaders to think more broadly and better perform when working with business roles and CEOs. Whether you’ve been told you need to have more of a business mindset, or you are heading the product department, you'll leave with a new perspective on the intersection of product management and business leadership.

Few people have journeyed from being developers and UX designers to product managers, startup management team members, and finally, founders and CEOs. These transitions have given me unique perspectives on various roles and motivations. I made mistakes that only became clear when I changed positions. Working closely with sales doesn’t mean you truly understand business, and the same goes for marketing or being a CEO. This talk provides an authentic reflection on how product professionals are viewed, which I believe will resonate deeply with the audience.

Learning to think like the CFO can be your superpower 

All PMs want to be business-oriented, but what does that actually mean? Is it simply projecting revenue dollars in your roadmap or (more recently) prioritizing profit?

In fact there is a language to businesses and that is the language of finance people. So PMs who learn to incorporate considerations such as Gross Margin, Revenue Recognition or Fiscal Year Budgeting can become more influential and create more impact for the business they serve.

The Secrets of Business Moats - How to create and develop defendable products

In today's competitive landscape, creating and sustaining unique differentiators, or "moats," is more challenging than ever. Just as my mother-in-law's unique cooking keeps us coming back to her table, a company's distinctive features keep it ahead in the market. Despite her generosity in sharing recipes, my attempts to replicate her dishes never quite match up. This experience illustrates how companies create their own protective moats—those unique traits and capabilities that set them apart from competitors, much like the moats around medieval castles. Identifying, articulating, and maintaining these moats has always been a difficult task, but it's even more crucial now with the rise of LLM models and the multitude of start-ups leveraging them.

 

In this exciting era where large language models (LLMs) have become widely accessible and commoditized, building sustainable moats is essential for product differentiation and growth. Companies must go beyond the surface-level features and delve into what truly makes them unique to maintain a competitive edge. This talk aims to shed light on the significance of moats in product management, offering practical strategies to identify, build, and sustain them, ensuring your products remain compelling and resilient in an ever-evolving market.

These principles will help you conduct guided discussions with your data researchers, direct the research team with requirements that fit the AI domain, and set you, your team, and your product up for success.

Go Big or Go Home: Crafting a Monumental MVP in the Gen-AI Era

  .One year ago, at the dawn of the Gen-AI revolution, we set out to develop an innovative, intelligent chatbot for sports bettors designed to communicate as a professional analyst

Through our market analysis, we uncovered two key insights:

1. There is no comparable technology on the market.

2. Our competition lies in professional sports analysts providing user insights.

Faced with high development costs, we asked ourselves: Should our MVP be minimal or monumental? We chose to go big. Over four months, two dedicated teams created a high-quality, feature-rich product.

Join me to explore: What drove our decision to aim high with our MVP? How did we balance risks and rewards? What lessons can be learned for your next big product launch?
