The product manager as artist: A new archetype
As AI accelerates product development, product managers face mounting pressure to prioritize, experiment, and deliver value amid uncertainty. What can we learn from performing artists? This talk explores how artistic practices can help product managers move beyond functional execution to create meaningful human experiences. Through storytelling, emotional awareness, taste and discernment, and the ability to bring diverse collaborators into harmony, we examine new ways to approach product strategy, team alignment, and decision-making. Attendees will discover how to embrace experimentation, cultivate creative judgment, and build trust and confidence within their teams.
