Growth Strategy Workshop: Build a Repeatable Growth Engine
Zain Abiddin
Ex-Canva Growth PM | Founder, GrowthPad
Stop guessing at growth. Find your biggest constraint and what to do next.
Most teams don’t have a shortage of growth ideas. They have a prioritization problem.
There are always more channels to test, onboarding flows to improve, pricing experiments to run, retention issues to fix, and AI tools to try. The hard part is knowing which problem actually matters most right now.
That’s where growth teams often lose momentum: too many initiatives, unclear ownership, weak prioritization, and experiments that aren’t tied to the real constraint in the business.
This workshop gives you a practical system for cutting through that noise.
You’ll bring your actual product or company, map your growth engine across acquisition, activation, retention and monetization, identify the biggest constraint holding back growth, and turn it into a prioritized execution plan.
You won’t leave with another folder of slides.
You’ll leave with a clear growth diagnosis, prioritized experiment backlog, key metrics, and a 90-day roadmap your team can actually execute.
