What problem does this course address?

Strategy in most organizations is treated as a planning exercise. Teams spend weeks writing plans that are out of date before the work begins. AI integration has made this harder. Strategy can shift in months, not years, and a plan that can't adapt that fast stops being useful. This course teaches you to treat strategy as a hypothesis instead of a fixed plan, so you leave with something you can act on, measure, and update as you learn.

Why this course, and why now?

AI makes it cheaper and faster to build almost anything. That capability alone risks raising the amount of output your team creates infinitely. This means that output alone no longer proves your team's work mattered or delivered value. That's why we've refreshed this course for how work happens now, refining the frameworks and examples to match the reality your team is working in. This course is where that shift starts. Once your team can set a clear strategy and test it like a hypothesis, every course after it, OKRs, delivery, discovery, communication, builds on that foundation.

Who is this training for?

- Product and business leaders who want to focus their teams on what's most important right now with the ability to adjust course as market demands shift - Senior product managers responsible for turning strategy into execution - Teams whose plans go stale before the work even starts - Leaders building teams who need the full sequence of AI-era product management skills - Anyone measured on output who wants to prove impact instead

What will happen in class?

This workshop is limited to 25 participants. Through lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises, you'll build your own Lean Strategy Canvas, name the obstacles standing between your team and its goals, and translate that work into a clear strategy hypothesis. Each session builds on the last, creating accountability and meaningful peer connections through shared learning experiences.
