During the month of June, Juanjo Reina, Head of Product FE & Mobile, and Albert Magro, Senior Product Owner, attended the ‘Mind the Product’ Conference, in London. An event that brought together product leaders, practitioners, and thinkers from across the globe for a full day of insights, debate and inspiration.
💭 “The necessary role of product people is product creation. Not coordination. Not alignment. Not delivery management. Creation.” - Albert Magro
For Albert, the opening keynote by Christian Idiodi, set the tone for the day:
“Too often we get caught up in the process, the meetings, the tickets, the standards, without stopping to ask: how much value are we actually delivering with all of this? Christian's call was to return the product to its roots: invention, problem-solving, disciplined creativity”.
“More speed without better judgement just means you can build the wrong thing faster. What AI cannot replace, Christian argued, is judgement, taste, ethics, strategy, and leadership. Those are the competencies we need to invest in”.
A message that resonated with Albert was that “AI is not a tool, it’s an era shift”, and while Artificial intelligence was a recurring topic, a key takeaway was that speed alone isn’t enough: "More speed without better judgement just means you can build the wrong thing faster. AI cannot replace judgement, taste, ethics, strategy, or leadership. Those are the competencies we need to invest in".
Reflecting on the event, Albert concludes:
“The game has changed, and the teams that will win are not the ones who move fastest. They are the ones who combine the speed AI now gives us with human judgement to know what is actually worth building”.
