In this talk, Dónal O’Mahony shares hard-earned lessons from a career at the forefront of industry disruption from the iPad’s impact on e-learning, to GAI in content management and 5G and edge computing in connected vehicles.
Grounded in real-world experience through seismic tech disruptions, company acquisitions and digital transformations, he explores how to move fast without breaking everything (including yourself), turning uncertainty into opportunity:
- Balancing rapid innovation with smart decision-making, learning from past disruptions
- Applying the parable from the book "Who Moved My Cheese?" to UX and product leadership
- Seeing change as a fun (!) opportunity, not a threat, with real-world lessons and advice
- Keeping your eye on that directional North Star while staying curious and adaptable along the journey
