From AI to ROI Podcast
Keeping the soul in product development: featuring Motorola Razr designer Jim Wicks
Today’s AI tools allow more people to turn ideas into prototypes and products faster than ever. But as the barriers to building products fall, product leaders face a new challenge: ensuring that speed and automation do not come at the expense of judgment, creativity and human connection. In this episode of CGI’s From AI to ROI podcast series, host Helen Fang is joined by Jim Wicks, Professor and Director of the Master of Product Design and Development Management program at Northwestern University and the designer behind iconic products including the Motorola Razr, and Mike Hyzy , Vice-President, AI Strategy and Product Development Lead for CGI U.S. CSG. The conversation examines how AI is reshaping product design and development, where organizations should accelerate and where they should deliberately slow down, and how product roles, teams and skills are beginning to evolve. It also explores what organizations must do to preserve community, culture, critical thinking and the “soul” of product development as AI becomes embedded throughout the product life cycle.
