Judgment, Decoded: Turn the AI Disruption of PM Into Your Promotion

About this event

"Half of product managers are at risk." That's Nikhyl Singhal on Lenny's podcast this spring. Booking.com is deleting management layers. The advice you keep hearing — "develop judgment," "build taste" sounds good but is not actionable and concrete.

Melissa Perri's 2026 survey of 309 product leaders named the real shift: "Delivery of designs and code got very fast. Delivery of good decisions became the new bottleneck."

Judgment is a step-by-step algorithm over the real structure of your customer's Jobs, segments, channels and possible strategies. In one evening, we'll walk that algorithm on your products — including yours.

What we'll cover:

• What "judgment" is actually made of — and why AI can't replace it, but will replace the PMs who don't have it
• Why your product has bad fundamentals and how to fix it
• The typical scaling mistakes: Dutch startups raised €2.6B in 2025, yet only 21% convert to scale-ups vs 81% in the US — the gap is in the strategy and discipline to implement this strategy
• A catalog of scaling strategies — and a concrete way to choose the right one for your product
• How to do strategy so a competitor can't copy your features over a weekend
• What the product leader's job becomes when AI compresses delivery and orgchart — and how to lead that transformation instead of being flattened by it

What you'll take home: a PDF with a diagnostic of your product's strategy — your segment, where your value chain breaks, which scaling move you're betting on, and the riskiest assumption inside it.

Who it's for: Heads of Product, VPs, CPOs, senior PMs, and founders who own what gets built next. This is a working session, not a lecture — bring a real product.

Agenda:

• 19:00 — doors open, snacks & drinks
• 19:30 — talk + live product teardown
• 20:45 — you get the diagnostic of your own product
• 21:30 — drinks & conversations
