C'est un paradoxe étonnant.97 % des dirigeants d'entreprise prévoient d'intégrer l'intelligence artificielle dans leur stratégie, mais seulement 1,7 % se sentent réellement prêts à franchir le pas mentionne une étude de Cisco.Alors pourquoi un tel décalage entre ambition et préparation ?Manque de connaissances techniquesPremièrement, si 80 % des dirigeants reconnaissent le potentiel de l'IA dans leur métier, beaucoup sont freinés par leur manque de connaissances techniques.Près de 70 % redoutent que ce déficit ne leur fasse perdre du terrain face à leurs concurrents.Et pour cause : plus de la moitié d'entre eux estiment déjà avoir perdu en compétitivité en raison d'un sous-investissement technologique.Les trois priorités des chefs d'entreprise face à l'IADeuxièmement, les chefs d'entreprise ne comptent pas rester passifs. Pour combler ce retard, ils ont défini trois priorités.D'abord investir dans les compétences de leurs équipes.Ensuite moderniser leur infrastructure informatique.Et enfin surtout renforcer la cybersécurité.Mais ils ne veulent pas agir seuls. 96 % des dirigeants s'appuient sur des partenaires de confiance pour accompagner cette transformation.Une inaction destructriceEnfin, Cisco souligne que l'inaction pourrait coûter cher.Selon l'étude, le manque d'investissement dans les nouvelles technologies pourrait entraîner une hausse des coûts d'exploitation, une baisse de la productivité et au final une perte de parts de marché.À l'inverse, les dirigeants qui osent adopter l'IA dès maintenant peuvent en espérer des bénéfices clairs.Ils citent sur le podium :Des gains d'efficacitéLa stimulation de l'innovationLe fait d'être en avance sur la concurrenceEn résumé, les entreprises doivent agir vite et de manière stratégique, en misant sur des infrastructures modernes et des réseaux résilients pour rester compétitives à l'ère de l'IA. C'est en tout cas le souhait de Cisco qui est, rappelons le, un vendeur de matériel réseau et informatique.Jeetu Patel, le Chief Product Officer de Cisco en est lui persuadé. « À terme, il n'y aura plus que deux types d'entreprises : celles qui sont des entreprises d'IA, et celles qui ne sont plus pertinentes » dit-il.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

The danger of post-breach disruption and downtime is extremely real. And while we should work to prevent these breaches in the first place, we must also be practical and pre-empt any potential incidents. Organisations armed with the most extensive software-based cybersecurity protection today continue to fall prey to hackers, have their operations disrupted and struggle to overcome the loss of data and system corruption. And with more business assets moving to the cloud than ever before - we are just asking for it aren't we? The answer to this lies in advanced engineering at the hardware layer.

Jeetu Patel joins us for the fifth episode of the Cisco Leadership Podcast. As the EVP and GM of Security and Collaboration. He brings decades of wisdom throughout his journey, highlighting the power of compounding and the value of constantly learning. He goes below the surface to describe his mindset that drives him and equates to his "X factor" as a staple in the Cisco organization. Bringing it home, he delves into the idea of utilizing our individual platforms and social network to make an impact and perpetuate success!
98% of the meetings moving forward will have at least one participant that's not in the same physical space as everyone else. That means every meeting will have someone not in the same location, and if these people feel left out, we have regressed. This is just one of the many reasons Jeetu Patel, EVP and General Manager, Security & Collaboration at Cisco, believes hybrid work is broken. Meetings are impacted by the audio and video quality. But it's networking and connectivity that users reply on the most. Employees connecting on insecure networks and unmanaged devices into unsanctioned apps in many businesses are also causing cybersecurity concerns. If these words resonate, it's because we all know there are problems with hybrid working, but Cisco is on a mission to solve them. Jeetu shares the big announcements made at Cisco Live to resolve many problems with hybrid working. We also discuss the Cisco security cloud vision.

And how can they nurture creative collaboration in our new world of work while providing employees the space and autonomy to do the best work of their lives?Perhaps no one is better suited to answer these questions than Scott Belsky, bestselling author and Chief Product Officer at Adobe. In his 2018 book The Messy Middle, Scott laid out the methods that enable people to find their way through the most difficult phases of bold projects and new ventures. In his talk with Jesse, Scott describes why it's critical to make product decisions at “The Edge of Reason,” and discusses how his ability to bring to life a vision for the future of creative collaboration would turn out to make him a key contributor to Adobe's well-chronicled transition to the Cloud.Along with his reflections on what it was like to ultimately assume the next phase of growth for products he had used and revered since his early years, Scott discusses his motivations for founding Behance; the parallels he discovered between the processes of writing books and of developing software products; his transformative ideas on product culture; and even his beliefs about the future of NFT technology to continue to unlock creative democratization. Time and again, he offers us timeless guidance on how to gain confidence from doubt and nurture our ability to create without limits.Guest BioScott Belsky is an executive, entrepreneur, author, and investor (and all-around product obsessive). He currently serves as Adobe's Chief Product Officer and Executive Vice President, Creative Cloud. Scott's passion is to make the creative world more productive, connected, and adaptive to new technologies. Scott co-founded Behance in 2006, and served as CEO until Adobe acquired Behance in 2012.Alongside his role at Adobe, Scott actively advises and invests in businesses that cross the intersection of technology and design - and help empower people. He works closely with a number of venture capital firms including Benchmark and Homebrew, and is an early advisor and investor in Pinterest, Uber, sweetgreen, Carta, Cheddar, Flexport, Airtable, and Periscope (now part of Twitter) as well as several others in the early stages.

The book The Hard Thing about Hard Things, by Ben Horowitz, narrates the trials and tribulations of a startup journey and the mindset required to be a founding CEO of a startup. Ben who is currently the Partner at Andreeson Horowitz shares tough learning lessons from his experience building several companies. This episode features Jeetu Patel, EVP & GM of Cisco Security and Collaboration Business Units at Cisco, who shares key insights and deep admiration for the book The Hard Thing about Hard Things. An entrepreneur himself, Jeetu talks about wartime mode vs peacetime mode of operation, managing our psychology as a leader and the importance of setting up a communication framework across the company. Jeetu also elaborates an interesting 6 part stack rank of what a company needs for business success.

"El negocio de colaboración de Cisco es extraordinariamente esencial para nuestros clientes", dijo Chuck Robbins, CEO de Cisco. "Con todas las integraciones que se han añadido - 800 nuevas funciones y dispositivos desde septiembre - realmente tenemos la solución de gestión de reuniones, llamadas, mensajes y eventos más completa del mercado, promoviendo el trabajo híbrido del futuro". "Para tener éxito en la era del trabajo híbrido, las organizaciones necesitan asegurarse de que sus soluciones sean flexibles, inclusivas, de apoyo, seguras y fácilmente gestionadas en el backend por IT", señaló Jeetu Patel, vicepresidente senior y director general de Seguridad y Colaboración de Cisco. "La nueva Webex Suite garantiza que todos los miembros de una plantilla híbrida tengan las mismas oportunidades y la misma voz".
If you ask Jeetu Patel about the nature of success, he'll tell you that “no one is entirely self-made.” And he'll be quick to point out all the times that friends and mentors sustained, encouraged, and inspired him as he grew into positions of leadership at innovative companies like Doculabs, EMC, Box, and now, Cisco—where, as SVP and GM of Security and Collaboration, he's taking on the mission to transform the company around SaaS offerings that break down geographical barriers and improve access to opportunity for people around the world.But as we often highlight on Breakthrough Builders, opportunity has a strong tendency to gravitate toward grit and curiosity—personal characteristics that are as much a part of Jeetu's story as his gratitude. In his talk with Jesse, hear how Jeetu pursued a new family legacy in the US after leaving unsafe conditions in his childhood home of Mumbai, India. You'll hear how he first became a business owner with a loan secured more by passion than means, why he left that role after seventeen years for a position where he was expected to learn as much as lead, and how his unique path prepared him to harmonize the often-competing disciplines of privacy and product development at Cisco. Throughout the episode, Jeetu offers a compelling case for why unheard voices need to be amplified, why titles should stay out of the room when product ideas are being debated, and why empathy is now the ultimate driver of business success.Guest BioJeetu Patel is Cisco's Senior Vice President and General Manager of Security and Collaboration. He leverages a diverse set of capabilities to lead the strategy and development for these businesses while helping to redefine Cisco's SaaS business and strategy around differentiated products that diverge in the way they're conceived, built, priced, packaged and sold.Prior to joining Cisco, Jeetu was the Chief Product Officer (CPO) and Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) at Box, a role he pioneered. He transformed Box from a single product application to a multi-product platform used by 100K customers representing 69% of the Fortune 500. Before joining Box, Jeetu was General Manager and Chief Executive of EMC's newly acquired Syncplicity business unit and President of Doculabs, a research and advisory firm co-owned by Forrester Research.

Hey, it's Jesse. Thanks for tuning into Season 3 of Breakthrough Builders!In case you didn't notice, we've made a few changes to the experience of the show - you've probably taken note of some new intro and outro music. That's just one of the many cool things that's happened because of our partnership with StudioPod Media in San Francisco. They've joined up with the team here at Breakthrough Builders to do editing, production, and music. Thanks to TJ, Julian, Katie, and Deanna for partnering up with me and Todd to make the show happen.So, we're now 5 episodes into our 8-episode Season 3.

Then, on June 9th, you'll hear my conversation with Lakshmi Shenoy, the CEO of Embarc Collective, a Tampa-Florida based organization founded in 2018 at the nexus of technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Lakshmi moved to Tampa from Chicago, where she led strategy at innovation incubator 1871, after meeting and being persuaded by the vision of Jeff Vinink for the future growth of Tampa. Lakshmi talked to me about how she brings together creative energy from her days at Leo Burnett, brand acumen from her time at P&G, Time, and Prophet Brand Strategy, and the startup gusto she honed working with the community at 1871. And she explained how exciting it is to be a CEO and an entrepreneur for and with entrepreneurs in a region that's experiencing the early waves of transformative growth.And, for our last episode of Season 3, on June 16th, I talk to Alex Hood, the Chief Product Officer at team-based work management platform Asana. We haven't recorded that conversation yet but Alex is someone I've known for a while and you can trust me that it'll be a great one. Alex has been a product person his entire career - at Nasdaq, Intuit, TubeMogul, and now Asana - and if there's anybody who can tell the story of what it's like to build and thrive in a career in product management, it's Alex.Keep sharing your input on the show, your reactions to the episodes, and of course, any suggestions for Guests you want to hear on the show!

On today’s episode, Jeetu Patel sits down with us to dive deep on the importance of product principles.
Jeetu Patel is Chief Product Officer at Box. He leads the company's product strategy, driving Box's long-term roadmap and vision for cloud content management in the enterprise. Previously, as Chief Strategy Officer and SVP of Platform at Box, Jeetu led the creation of the Box Platform business unit, overseeing product strategy, marketing, and developer relations.

(Disclaimer: These episodes were recorded prior to the coronavirus outbreak.) Build a product that’s 10X better than your competition, said Jeetu Patel, Box’s Chief Product and Chief Strategy Officer, in the new episode of Roadmunk’s Product to Product podcast. Jeetu says in order to do this, a product company shouldn’t obsess about the competition, but should focus on their customers. He adds that if you’re just replicating another product, a user won’t see the value in switching their behaviour since it doesn’t solve their problems any differently. Also in this episode, find out how Jeetu went from making $4.25 an hour as a waiter to investing in his first company at age 22 with a $250,000 loan in hand and then moving onto being a senior technology executive whose company has 70M users and 100,000 customers. Jeetu also cautions teams to avoid the shiny object syndrome where they’re chasing the thrill of new features. There’s a balance, but make sure your core product is given the love it needs too, he warned.
Jeetu Patel has run every function of the business in his career. He's done his stint in marketing, engineering, sales, and now, product. But the one thing in business that has fascinated him the most has been scale. Early in Jeetu's career, he'd travel a lot and was constantly amazed to see certain companies that were famous in the United States, have the same level of recognition and impact in a completely different company. It inspired him to learn the global nature of the business, and how a comp
Ep. 90 Scaling Up Product With Box Featuring Jeetu Patel, Chief Product Officer At Box by Scaleup Valley Podcast
Jobs to be done will change the way you think about product. It will change the way you approach user personas and influence your product decision process. It is one of the most important developments in product thinking in our time, so today we're going to dive right in. In this episode we talk with Jeetu Patel of Box, Bob Moesta co-creator of the Jobs to be done framework, Benedikt Lehnert of Wunderlist (now Microsoft) and Eric White. The theory of jobs to be done was developed in part as a complement to the theory of disruptive innovation. But disruption theory doesn’t tell you how to create products and services that customers want to buy. Jobs to be done theory does. It transforms our understanding of customer choice in a way that no amount of data ever could, because it gets at the causal driver behind a purchase.

Jeetu Patel has run every function of the business in his career. He’s done his stint in marketing, engineering, sales, and now, product. But the one thing in business that has fascinated him the most has been scale. Early in Jeetu’s career, he’d travel a lot and was constantly amazed to see certain companies that were famous in the United States, have the same level of recognition and impact in a completely different company. It inspired him to learn the global nature of the business, and how a company can transform its’ reach. This fascination led him to Box, a cloud content management company where he is currently the Chief Product Officer and Chief Strategy Officer. Box was essentially the same product that served 3 employees to 400,000 employees and 14 million customers. Having a product unique enough to span that incredible spectrum is a huge challenge for any product manager. All of those segments have different requirements, so how do you even begin to adjust those? It’s a great intellectual challenge to have, and one of the most rewarding ones in his career. This week on Product Love, I sat down with Jeetu Patel, to discuss important metrics, and how to build an effective product team.
As part of our exploration of product platforms, we’re revisiting an insightful conversation we had awhile back with Jeetu Patel, the seasoned Chief Product Officer and Chief Strategy Officer at Box. Box is a prime example of a company that has successfully transformed their product into a platform and through that process, grow their business exponentially. Jeetu shares what made Box evolve into a platform in the first place and what you need to provide to help developers be successful with your platform.
One of the most import roles as a product owner is building the right product team. In part two of this two-part mini-series, we take a look at what high performing product managers and product leaders are doing inside of their organizations to manage and lead a high-performing product team. In this episode, we dive into the strategies that managers use to lead their teams successfully. It's not easy and we're not all Steve Jobs (although most of us think we are from time to time) so what do high performing managers from Facebook and Box do? That's the question we answer in this episode. Featuring Alison Go, PM at Facebook, Austin Bales, Director of Product Design at Facebook, Sam Goertler PM at Kickstarter, Ty Ahmad-Taylor, VP of Product Marketing at Facebook, Jeetu Patel, Chief Product Officer & Chief Strategy Officer at Box, & Sebastian Speier, Director of Design at Nike.

Our GuestJeetu Patel is Chief Product Officer at Box. He leads the company's overall product and platform strategy, driving Box’s long-term roadmap and vision for cloud content management in the enterprise. Previously, as Chief Strategy Officer and SVP of Platform at Box, Jeetu led the creation of the Box Platform business unit, overseeing product strategy, marketing and developer relations. He grew the team from a nascent product to a revenue generating business line and key element on Box’s overall suite of offerings. He also led corporate development & M&A strategy as well as Box for Industries.Here are the highlights of our conversation with our guest:The thing that drives Jeetu more than anything else is the extent of impact of his ideas and projects that he had done. People spend a lot of time at work and their team’s mission is to ensure that people’s lives at work get better –there’s less friction, teams are more productive and dreams get attained. Jeetu grew up in India and come over to the US at 19. They were wealthy before but his family had gone through hard times. America has given him a break and with the help of mentors, he had the realization that whatever he has his mind on, can come to pass. These experiences had molded his way of thinking and drive him to look for the following characteristics in people that create a level of tenacity and success: a degree of curiosity of how things work, the ability to drill things down to the core and the most important of all of them, a hunger to fuel the passion.Box is a content manager company whose mission is to power how the world works together. Everything they do is around content: managing content, how content participate in business workflows, how you share it, how you collaborate around it, how you secure it, how you get value from your content. This started with a problem of taking large files and transferring them from one person to another as they are working on projects. Their solution was a system in the cloud which allows people to seamlessly share and collaborate and over time they delivered and built it to the enterprise. Box has a three-phased approach on problems:First phase is where they incubate an idea. The goal during this phase is to identify a problem that’s big enough to solve and come up with a solution that is meaningfully differentiated in the market. After this, you maniacally focus on the product market fit. The second phase is identifying a repeatable selling motion, and once this is established, begin to scale. Don’t try to scale prematurely, that is for phase three.Get your product market fit first, get those flagship 10 customers, identify the successful, get a repeatable selling motion then scale. Don’t do it until then. In finding talent, you have to have a good mix of people who has experience and the right potential. You can’t just have people who are high on experience because as you get more experience, you become a liability as you often get overly prejudice in your views and your experience of your past. You will then have to spend time unlearning the patterns of your past. So ensure that you are hiring people who are extremely capable and have experience in the right areas but do not over index on experience only as a fresh mind can challenge the status quo much more so that someone who is already tainted on how things work. Also, keep the size of the team small as they will spend their time actually doing the work done and not coordinating things.Jeetu also differentiated power users and marginal users and advised to focus on the latter so you can go out and drive growth. You have to deeply understand what the marginal user wants and how that might be very different from what the power users want, and you have to make trade off exercises between the two. When you are going out to determine market fit, look at your power users. But once you get past product market fit and grow you user base, make sure there is heavy emphasis placed on the marginal users and the way you build out their capabilities. Jeetu also shares one of the powerful concepts that their organization has constructed which they have been doing to more and more of their teams. They brand this with a code name PEAPOD: Product Manager, Engineering, Analytics, Program Management, Online Growth and Design. QuotesWhen that lightbulb goes off, a world of possibilities opens up for you. It’s just a matter of ‘Oh, now, I can decide to do anything that I want to do because as long as I want it badly enough, I can go get it”. Failure wasn’t an option.Great leaders tend to be simplifiers. They drill down things to its core essence.The three things that I look for the most from the people that I hire: Are they hungry? Are they curious? Can they distill it down to moments of clarity which create tremendous amount of inspiration for people?Come up with a solution that is meaningfully differentiated in the market. Do not have a solution that is 20% better than someone else has. If it’s not at least 10x better than what is available in the market, the chances of people moving to that solution is slim. One of our cardinal rules that we use internally that is very counter intuitive is, start by doing something that don’t scale so that you can sustainably scale.Don’t try to scale something prematurely. The quality of the problem that you end up picking is directly proportionate to the success that you are going to have in solving that problem. The harder the problem, the higher the likelihood that you will succeed. As you get more experienced, one of the things that become a liability is that often times, you get overly prejudiced in your views and your experience of your past. The best work gets done when you have a small team.The single most important thing that you need to have is hunger. If you got the right level of hunger, you can move mountains.Rapid Fire QuestionsWhat is your definition of innovation?Innovation is building something that’s ten times better than what’s available in the market.Would you put more emphasis on the idea or the execution? How would you weigh each of them and why?One of the people I work for once said to me, “Strategy is super important but I’d rather take a mediocre strategy with excellent execution rather than an excellent strategy with a mediocre execution.” So, I would go as far as 70% to 30%.What is your biggest learning lesson on your journey so far?Don’t overcharge for your product. Leave some on the table and give customers more value than what you have actually charged for. This keeps that customers coming back.Don’t hire people who are not hungry. You won’t win.What is your favorite business book?

Jobs to be done will change the way you think about product. It will change the way you approach user personas and influence your product decision process. It is one of the most important developments in product thinking in our time, so today we're going to dive right in. In this episode we talk with Jeetu Patel of Box, Bob Moesta co-creator of the Jobs to be done framework, Benedikt Lehnert of Wunderlist (now Microsoft) and Eric White. The theory of jobs to be done was developed in part as a complement to the theory of disruptive innovation. But disruption theory doesn’t tell you how to create products and services that customers want to buy. Jobs to be done theory does. It transforms our understanding of customer choice in a way that no amount of data ever could, because it gets at the causal driver behind a purchase. Learn more about your ad choices.
