The most effective product leaders are developing stronger product sense, broader systems thinking, and a more cross-functional understanding of how products are built, scaled, and improved. In this session, Rahul will explore what that shift looks like in practice and how AI can help product managers accelerate it. Drawing on his perspective on modern product leadership, Rahul will unpack how PMs can move beyond simply following playbooks to developing sharper judgment, deeper strategic thinking, and a more holistic view of product development. He will also examine the rise of the “system manager” or “full-stack manager”, a product leader who is able to work more fluidly across product, design, and technology, using AI as a copilot to strengthen understanding and increase impact. Attendees will learn: - What product sense really means beyond standard frameworks and processes - How AI can be used as a copilot to strengthen, not replace, product judgment - Why systems thinking is becoming increasingly important in modern product management - What it means to become a “system manager” or “full-stack manager” - How PMs can build broader fluency across design, technology, and strategy - Practical ideas for evolving their approach to product leadership in an AI-enabled world
