About the Event

6 bite-sized sessions over 6 weeks - Wednesday 29 July, 5, 12, 26 August, 2, 9 September at 2 pm. 

Discover how product development, process design and AI work together to improve decision-making and build stronger development systems.

OVERVIEW

Most product development training focuses on improving methodology, while most AI training focuses on using the technology more effectively. This workshop takes a different approach by exploring how product development systems and AI work together to improve the quality of decisions made where teams, disciplines and processes intersect. Rather than treating AI as another productivity tool, participants will learn how to use it as a thinking partner within product and process development, helping leaders deliberately design stronger development systems that reduce rework and improve organisational capability.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Across 6 practical online sessions, you will learn how to:

• Read your product development organisation as a multi-scale architectural system.

• Understand how development performance is shaped at the boundaries between teams and disciplines.

• Install Form, Pattern and Development System as one integrated architecture connecting product roadmap, process architecture, management systems and capability development.

• Use video evidence as a boundary object that improves collaboration across disciplines.

• Run discovery reviews that identify change-point risk before it becomes costly rework.

• Apply set-based concurrent engineering rather than converging too early on a single solution.

• Make deliberate design choices between integral and modular architectures at every level of development.

• Build organisational capability that strengthens architectural judgement over time.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This workshop is designed for product and process development leaders who want to strengthen the way development decisions are made across their organisation.

It is suited to leaders responsible for improving product development systems, connecting strategy with execution, and designing organisations where AI supports better judgement, stronger collaboration and more effective development outcomes.

WHAT TO EXPECT

This practical six-session program is delivered over seven weeks, with 45-minute online sessions (the first session runs for 60 minutes). Each session combines practical concepts, real-world examples and interactive discussion in manageable learning blocks.

Throughout the series you'll have the opportunity to ask questions, share insights and apply the learning to your own organisation.

If you miss a session, don't worry. All sessions are recorded and made available through the Learning Management System, together with presentation slides, key point summaries and practical playbooks.
