The Cost of Building the Right Thing | AI, Speed & Discernment at ServiceNow

Author: ServiceNow Community June 17, 2026 Duration: 23:38
Engineering teams are building ten times — even a hundred times — more than they could two years ago. That's a win, but one not without challenges. Because the cost of building the right thing has climbed exponentially. In this episode of the ServiceNow Insights podcast, host Bobby Brill sits down with three leaders who are living this tension from three distinct angles: the content and design leader who first spotted the productivity math problem, the design VP pushing for discernment over speed, and the research lead keeping the human at the center.

Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of the platform that powers so much of today's enterprise workflow? ServiceNow Insights pulls back the curtain, offering a direct line to the minds building and shaping the technology. This isn't a series of polished press releases; it's a collection of genuine conversations with the engineers, product managers, and innovators from the ServiceNow Community who are doing the actual work.

Each episode delves into the practical implications of new updates and products, giving you a clearer sense of how these tools evolve and where they might be headed next. Whether you're deeply embedded in the ecosystem as an admin or platform owner, or simply curious about how complex digital services are orchestrated, this podcast provides context and clarity you can't find elsewhere.
