Welcome to TiPS - the Topics in Product Series - a new podcast format powered by ITX and the team at Product Momentum . The TiPS mission is to engage the same important product space issues that you confront every day - but this time through the experiences of ITX product managers, UX researchers and designers, engineers, security analysts, and the rest of the team. In this inaugural TiPS episode, Dan Sharp is joined by Sean Murray and Andrew Knoblauch to reflect on a recent Product Leaders Breakfast, hosted by Prerna Singh . Together, they draw on insights from event attendees to discuss how AI is being applied inside real organizations. The central theme was clear: successful AI adoption depends less on hype and more on first principles and core product skills that drive disciplined product thinking, incremental progress, and strong decision-making.
