Unlearn What You Know: Stop Thinking Like a Coach and Start Thinking Like a Player

Alan Manuel, Planview Global VP of Product for VSM and AI, discusses the secrets to driving project-to-product change in this session from the 2024 Project to Product Summit.

Are you running into roadblocks driving change? Maybe it’s because you’re still thinking like a coach, and not like a player. As a change agent for your organization, your mandate is clear: transform your operating model to help your company become more nimble, more efficient, and ready to achieve new strategic goals. You’ve done the research, learned the techniques, and put your transformation plans in place. So why is it that, for you and many others like you, this is often as far as it gets?

In this session, hear from industry veteran Alan Manuel, Planview Global VP of Product for VSM and AI. Alan has decades of experience both in leading successful software product organizations, as well as driving the change that got them there - at startups, Silicon Valley unicorns, and the largest global technology companies.

You’ll learn:
  • The secrets to driving project-to-product change
  • How to communicate effectively
  • What you should avoid
  • How the all-important first transformation probably isn’t what you think.
AI in new product development is more than just a trend—it’s the future. It is and will continue to be one of the many ways to speed time-to-market, improve decision making, gain first-to-market advantage, and drive efficiencies throughout the new product development process. But here’s the catch: Most companies aren’t using AI to its full potential, and that could be holding back their innovation efforts.

Join us for this insightful webinar with Dr. Robert Cooper, creator of the Stage-Gate® process, where we’ll dive into his latest research on AI adoption and integration and you’ll:
  • Learn from the latest research where firms are leveraging AI across 13 critical areas—and where they’re missing key opportunities.
  • Discover how Planview’s AI capabilities can help you make smarter, faster decisions within your product portfolio.
  • Get practical, actionable next steps on how to start leveraging AI in your new product development process.

Don’t let your competitors outpace you—leverage the transformative power of artificial intelligence to accelerate innovation.
