Product Management
Presentation
For Everyone
Session Description:
Product managers navigate uncertainty, shifting priorities, and high-stakes decisions—challenges that closely mirror those faced by elite military units. Ravi Ramsaran, a seasoned product executive with over 20 years in startups with the last four years at DND, shares how battlefield strategies transformed his approach to product leadership.
​
Ravi will explore military-inspired frameworks for product execution, including SITREPs for real-time clarity, mission-first roadmaps for strategic alignment, and war-gaming techniques for rapid decision-making. The session will also cover AI ethics and military-grade accountability as essential tools for building trust in high-risk environments. Attendees will leave with actionable tactics to adapt faster, execute with precision, and lead decisively—even in uncertainty.
