IIM Kozhikode has launched a 20-week executive program on Product Innovation with AI and Agentic AI, promising hands-on experience with 20 industry-relevant AI, no-code, and product tools, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Figma, according to Hindustan Times. This initiative directly addresses the urgent need for professionals capable of building AI-native products.
The market urgently needs professionals capable of building AI-native products, but existing educational infrastructure often lacks the practical, tool-focused training required to meet this demand. Traditional executive education programs have struggled to keep pace with rapid technological shifts.
Executive education institutions are increasingly pivoting to highly specialized, hands-on AI programs, suggesting a future where practical application of AI tools becomes a standard component of leadership development. This shift acknowledges that theoretical AI knowledge alone is insufficient for creating 'AI-native' leaders.
A Comprehensive Curriculum for AI-Native Products
- The program combines Product Design, Generative AI, and Agentic AI to cover the entire product development lifecycle, according to Hindustan Times.
- The curriculum covers the complete AI product lifecycle, including opportunity discovery, customer insights, rapid prototyping, deployment, optimisation, and scaling, as reported by The Indian Express.
- The program aims to equip professionals to build AI-native products, according to NewsBytes.
This holistic approach ensures participants gain a full-spectrum understanding of developing products infused with advanced AI capabilities. Graduates are prepared to manage AI product development from conception through to market deployment.
