Netflix Chief Product and Technology Officer Elizabeth Stone says systems thinking is becoming the most important skill in the AI era.
- In engineering and product, she wants people who can see across business domains and build shared capabilities that help many teams move faster.
- In design, she values experience designers who create reusable templates and patterns instead of one-off work.
- The broader takeaway is that AI is pushing teams toward more cross-functional, leverage-heavy operating models.
