AI for Product Discovery and Strategy
Leverage GenAI and AI-integrated tools to enhance strategic planning, decision-making, and lifecycle management without losing control of their product vision, audience insights, and competitive research to stay ahead in an AI-driven market.
AI for Product Discovery and Strategy
Product Owners Acheiving Strategic Outcomes using AI
You’re seeing AI everywhere in your LinkedIn feed, in executive meetings, in competitor announcements and you’re feeling you need to catch up. Sound familiar?
“Everyone else seems to know something I don’t” You see other POs posting about their AI wins, and you’re wondering how they’re actually using it for real product work (beyond asking ChatGPT to write emails).
“My stakeholders are asking about AI integration” And you’re nodding along while trying to figure out what features will be valuable to add AI
“I don’t have time to become an AI expert” You’re already juggling sprint planning, stakeholder management, and roadmap updates. When exactly are you supposed to learn AI?
“What if I become irrelevant?” That nagging fear that AI-savvy Product Owners are going to leave you in the dust career-wise.
Strategic Product Discovery
I’ve watched product teams adopt AI the way they adopted Agile back in 2010, picking up surface-level practices and missing where the real value sits. Most teams use AI to write user stories and generate email drafts, which saves some time but doesn’t touch any product decision that matters.
Product strategy typically fails upstream, when teams build on market assumptions nobody has tested and when discovery drags because synthesizing customer data manually is slow and expensive. That’s where AI actually changes your work, and that’s what this workshop focuses on.
One-day agenda
AI for Product Strategy
We start where strategy fails most — upstream assumptions nobody has tested. You'll use generative AI to analyze your target audience in depth, run competitive and market research at a pace that used to require days of manual work, and develop and stress-test a product vision against your actual business objectives.
We also work through how to incorporate AI into ongoing strategic planning and decision-making, so it becomes a regular part of how you and your team think — not a one-off tool you pull out when someone asks about AI.
AI-Powered Product Planning
This module focuses on the decisions that shape what you build and when. AI-assisted brainstorming and scenario modeling for generating and refining ideas. How to analyze large data sets and inform long-range planning choices. How to identify trends and surface hidden patterns or potential roadblocks before they show up in your metrics.
Customer Insights with AI
Where most teams leave significant value on the table. We work through how to clean and structure messy data so it becomes usable, how to run AI-assisted customer interview analysis and sentiment analysis, and how to use generative AI to surface behavior patterns that would otherwise stay buried in raw data.
You leave with specific prompts and frameworks you can put to work immediately — not just concepts to explore on your own later.

From recent cohorts
This was a great course. I benefitted massively from it being a very small cohort.
Anil’s course was paced appropriately enough to learn but not stagnate. He has an engaging style, guiding participants to participate in the experience he provides. Highly recommend!

Most of our AIPDS come back for the full journey.
AI for Product Discovery and Strategy is the foundation. The Product Owner Journey adds CSPO, A-CSPO, and our new AI for Product Owner module — the same content, a 15% saving, and a cohort that stays together for weeks, not just one course.
