Scaling PLG experiences in the Enterprise: IBM’s story
How do you implement "frictionless" growth in a world of "high-touch" sales? Transitioning a legacy enterprise giant to a Product-Led Growth (PLG) model is often described as trying to turn a cruise ship in a canal. Yet, IBM has successfully integrated PLG mechanics across its sprawling portfolio of hybrid cloud and AI solutions, proving that product-led and enterprise-grade are not mutually exclusive. This session pulls back the curtain on IBM’s transformation journey, detailing the structural and cultural shifts required to scale PLG within a massive global sales organization. We will move beyond the theory of "free trials" and dive into the gritty reality of technical debt, internal silos, and the evolution of the "Product-Led Sales" (PLS) motion.
