Your Product Operating Model is Broken (And AI is Making it Obvious)

This article emphasizes the urgency for product leaders to upgrade their operating models, highlighting the widening gap between companies that have embraced AI and those still clinging to outdated methods. It underscores the risk of becoming a 'legacy magnet' by not adapting to the rapid changes in product work driven by AI. The article presents two paths for mature companies: one where AI is added as a bolt-on to a feature factory, exacerbating existing issues, and another where AI is integrated into a new operating system of builder teams, enabling faster innovation and better outcomes. It concludes by warning that the real risk is not AI replacing jobs, but companies becoming obsolete by failing to adapt their product operating models.
