SAN FRANCISCO, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AI is Changing Everything: Products That Count Releases 2025 CPO Insights Report In Partnership with Capgemini and Mighty Capital
Products That Count, the premier platform for Chief Product Officers and a global network of over 500,000 product leaders, today announced the release of its 2025 CPO Insights Report—developed in partnership with Capgemini, a global leader in business and technology transformation, and Mighty Capital, the venture capital firm investing in product-first companies.
Now available as a free downloadable eBook, the report is based on surveys and conversations with over 1,000 CPOs and highlights the five mission-critical shifts defining the next chapter of product leadership. This research continues the multi-year series that has become the definitive source on the evolving role of the Chief Product Officer.
Key findings include:
- Brace for chaos: AI is accelerating the speed of development—and it's changing everything. Product leaders must navigate shrinking budgets, misaligned teams, and market uncertainty in real time.
- Hire for adaptability: AI is blurring role boundaries—CPOs are building teams of generalist "Super" PMs who can move fast and flex across domains.
- Redefine success metrics: Revenue is only part of the picture. Leading CPOs prioritize retention, time-to-value, and long-term engagement.
- Own M&A strategy: CPOs are now central to M&A execution, using it as a survival tactic for acquiring talent, tech, and growth at scale.
- Fast-track to CEO: Product-first models push more CPOs into top executive roles, including CEO, COO, and board positions.
Products That Count projects that by 2030, companies without a Chief Product Officer will become obsolete. With support from Capgemini and Mighty Capital, this report offers a blueprint for what product excellence looks like in an AI-first era.
