What you'll learn

The fundamentals AI is quickly absorbing

Research, requirements, competitive analysis some of what filled your week is being automated. We'll name it honestly.

What "good PM work" looks like now

The job description didn't change. The bar for real PM contribution did. We'll map the new baseline clearly.

The PM skills that compound in an AI-forward world

Judgment, discovery, product sense, the human product basics that get more valuable.

Where to invest your development time right now

Leave with a clear picture of the two or three PM capabilities worth building in 2026 and a way to evaluate the rest.

Why this topic matters

Product management has a back-to-basics moment coming and the PMs who lean into it will be the ones who thrive. The frameworks multiplied, the ceremonies ate the calendar, and the fundamentals easily got deprioritized. This session is about remembering what makes great PMs great before the noise took over.

Founder | Executive Coach | Product Leadership Alchemist

I'm Danielle Tye, founder of Activate Edge, a leadership coaching practice. As a recovering product manager turned leadership coach, I work with founders and senior leaders who are successful and ready to lead in a way that's actually theirs.

I spent 16 years building and leading product and technology teams across healthtech, insurtech, SaaS, and enterprise software, including building net-new product organizations from scratch and stepping into executive leadership roles during critical transitions. I've sat in every seat I teach from.

The biggest thing standing between most leaders and their next level isn't a skills gap. It's knowing why they lead the way they do and having the conviction to choose differently. That's where I work.
