In this podcast, Eilon Reshef, co-founder and CPO of Gong, discusses their innovative approach to product development. He explains their "pod" system, where small, cross-functional teams operate independently with 6 to 12 design partners on each project. This method results in an impressive success rate for features that a large customer base frequently uses. Reshef highlights the importance of fostering a culture of autonomy and trust, which allows for swift decision-making—even on major issues. He draws interesting comparisons to his parenting style while also addressing the rapidly changing world of AI in product development. Despite the rise of large language models, he emphasizes the ongoing demand for specialized expertise in the field.
