Product Strategy for Autonomous Organizations

Welcome to this first session of WG3 (Innovation and R&D) which will be chaired by Dr. Zafer Sahinoglu, VP of Innovation and GM of the Mitsubishi Electric Innovation Center. The Working Group has a dedicated space set up on the Mighty Networks platform.

Product Strategy for Autonomous Organization.

Facilitator: Dr. Zafer Sahinoglu, VP of Innovation, Mitsubishi Electric

Organizations are starting to run themselves. AI agents now negotiate contracts, allocate capital, route shipments, and resolve customer issues, often without a human in the loop. Yet most product strategy playbooks still assume that people make the decisions, people are the customers, and people are accountable when things go wrong. That assumption is breaking.

When agents buy from agents, when a workflow can rewrite itself overnight, and when the “team” behind a product is partly software, the fundamental questions change: What exactly are you selling? Who decides? Who is responsible? The leaders who answer these questions first will shape the next generation of companies. Everyone else will inherit their answers.

Product Strategy for Autonomous Organizations is a 90-minute working session for people who want to get ahead of this shift rather than react to it. This is not a panel. We will take on real-world cases, decide which decisions can safely be handed to autonomous systems and which must stay human, and pressure-test business models, trust mechanisms, and failure modes. You will leave with a practical framework you can apply the following Monday and a clearer picture of where the real risks lie.
