SUMMARY:A Manifesto for the AI journey
LOCATION:ezyVet (IDEXX Veterinary Software)
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 45% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nHow do you go from AI proof of concepts in your organisat
 ion to embedding AI in your operating model without creating chaos or endi
 ng up in a dark place? Rebecca and Duncan will give an overview of ezyVet’
 s AI implementation journey\, and then Anthony will introduce the Makers M
 anifesto\, a set of values and principles developed globally for organisat
 ions who are on this journey.\n\nIn the first part of this talk\, Rebecca 
 Kemp and Duncan Crawford from ezyVet (part of IDEXX Software) will share h
 ow their product\, engineering\, and UX teams are rethinking product devel
 opment in the age of AI — moving from "1\,000 blossoms bloom" experimentat
 ion to a deliberate approach built on tooling\, capability-building\, and 
 a shared cross-functional framework. Expect real examples of what's workin
 g\, like building PRDs directly from Claude transcripts\, alongside an hon
 est look at the role ambiguity and anxiety this shift creates\, and how th
 ey're leading through it with clarity and optimism.\n\nFollowing this Anth
 ony Marter will introduce the Makers Manifesto - a global collaboration cr
 eated by 45 product leaders from around the world which makes a statement 
 on what good looks like for an AI enabled product making organisation. He’
 ll tell the story of how this came to be from\\\, wrangled from the opinio
 ns of global leaders like Martin Eriksson\\\, Christina Wodtke and Matt Le
 May\\\, and how it has a uniquely Aussie and Kiwi flavour.\n\nThis will th
 en be followed by a mini feedback workshop where you’ll get the chance to 
 give your thoughts on the Makers Manifesto\, which will help to inform the
  next iteration of this.\n\nLivestream details are TBC - watch this space!
