Product Leadership Trends & Insights

The product landscape is undergoing a profound shift due to AI, challenging product executives to evolve their products and workflows. To understand how product leaders are navigating this new era, we surveyed 101 product executives about their biggest challenges, the evolving role of tools and talent, and how they are redefining success.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

• The AI Implementation Gap: 51% of leaders are told to focus on AI, but most are still early in adoption.
• The Confidence-Execution Disconnect: A majority of product leaders are confident in their strategic decisions, yet less than half hit their goals consistently.
• Tools Over Talent: AI/ML tools and analytics platforms are heavily prioritized investments, while talent development gets just 2%.
• Outcomes Over Outputs: Product leaders measure success based on revenue, customer outcomes, and adoption, with only 8% measuring delivery velocity.
