AI to Empower People: Fabrice Bernhard on Using AI to Improve Product Development

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

Get Started with Lean Product & Process Development

Improving how you develop and deliver products doesn’t require a full transformation to start—it begins with learning to see problems clearly, involve your team, and improve how work gets done.

At the Lean Enterprise Institute, we help organizations:

Focus on customer-defined value

Reduce delays and rework

Build learning into the development process

Align people, processes, and purpose

Whether you're exploring Lean for the first time or want to improve your development system, we’ll meet you where you are.

Explore your next step:

Read Designing the Future or The Power of Process

Take the 60-minute Lean Product and Process Development Overview course

Join the Designing the Future Workshop for hands-on practice

Bring a coach into your organization for customized support

Let’s take the first step—together. Learn more at lean.org/LPPD »
