In this episode of The Design Brief, we speak with Fabrice Bernhard. Fabrice is cofounder and chief technology officer of Theodo, a leading tech consultancy in Europe, and coauthor of The Lean Tech Manifesto. Fabrice discusses what it takes to create great digital products, how high-performing teams can use AI with care, and how LPPD (lean product and process development) thinking works with generative AI to strengthen businesses and teams.
The conversation explores:
- What intentional use of AI in product development looks like (while keeping human beings at the center)
- Where Fabrice and his team have focused their energies helping companies make the digital transformation
- How AI helps teams practice the LPPD principle of “building in learning and knowledge reuse” to create better products
- How business leaders can use AI to “translate” legacy systems into the modern systems we need to do value-creating work now
- Common pitfalls leaders run into when experimenting with AI in product development
