Stop Talking, Start Making: How AI and the Maker Mindset Elevates Innovation
A Talk by Dr Aaron Parker (Head of Product Design, Amdaris)
About this Talk
Everyone wants to be innovative or AI-first, but most organisations fall into the same trap: too much talking, not enough making. The classic product triad - product, design, and engineering - is a powerful foundation, but it won't deliver on its potential without the right mindset. That's where AI and the Maker Mindset comes in: helping teams build, learn, and innovate together, not just talk about it.
In this session we'll break down the maker mindset, how it turns theory into practice, and how AI supercharges the whole process. You'll get an honest look at what works and what doesn't, and how AI can help organisations accelerate how they build, learn, iterate, and innovate.
Key Takeaways:
What is a product triad, and why this should be the backbone of your innovation work. What the maker mindset looks like in practice, and the core principles that differentiate it from what we've seen before. How AI transforms teams from talkers to makers: with real-world uses and AI toolkits that can actually move things forward. How to get started, with actionable moves for leaders to spark a culture of making.
