Scale Data & AI Product initiatives throughout the company

"In order to scale Data & AI Product initiatives throughout the company, hiring more Data Product Managers won't be enough (or needed). You need a shift towards a Data & AI Product Mindset. Everyone is concerned, from the CEO to the Data, Product and Engineering teams.

👉 C-Level and Business people need to understand what can (and what cannot) be done with Data & AI, and align the Data Strategy with the Business Strategy.

👉 Product Teams need to understand how to work with Data Teams, and the specificities that are typically not encountered when working with Engineering Teams. They also need to upskill their technical knowledge : fundamentals of BI / dashboarding, SQL and Data Analysis become increasingly necessary. Using AI and GenAI in their day to day job is not the same thing as incorporating AI in their products.

👉 Engineering Teams, with the decentralization of Data, will have to incorporate more and more tasks and skills that used to be on the Data side : creating and orchestrating pipelines, managing data as a product, engaging with Data Contracts, and much more.

👉 Data Teams need to transition from a Project mindset to a Product Mindset. They need to stop considering that the algorithm is the only value in an AI Product. They need to be incorporated in Product Discovery phases, and develop more Software Engineering best practices.

Tomorrow, every Product will leverage Data & AI in some form.

It's spreading throughout the whole company, in every team. But it's only by adopting the right Mindset and adopting a common language that you will really benefit from it and address the right issues and create real value.
