Course overview
Business Strategy, Competitive Research & Analysis, Storyboarding Value Props
NOTE: COHORT 1 IS AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY! COHORT 2 IS NOW OPEN.
THE POINT: For product designers and managers to succeed, they must understand how a company’s business strategy and product experience are interconnected. In this 4-week course, you’ll gain the skills and language needed to lead effective Discovery Phases and drive product strategy.
LEARN THESE SKILLS:
• Craft clear problem statements and compelling value propositions using Claude AI’s high-context reasoning.
• Develop proto-personas and evolve them into targeted customer interview frameworks with the help of GPT-4.
• Conduct systematic competitive research and analysis using commercial LLMs as reference points.
• Create storyboards that structure prototype designs for concept testing using tools like Storyboard.ai, Firefly, Claude, and GPT-4.
HOW THE COURSE WORKS: We’ll meet once a week for 90-minute sessions, combining in-depth, engaging lectures with dedicated Q&A time. With each session, you’ll have an optional assignment to reinforce what you learned. Complete the assignments, and you’ll have the foundation of a strategy deck or portfolio ready to develop further. Office hours with Jaime happen on Fridays for personalized support/feedback on your project and/or to learn from the feedback to others.
THE AI PART: Jaime will teach how to integrate best-in-class AI tools into the workflow so that they genuinely enhance the process. For your projects, you will be encouraged to solve real-world problems with practical, non-toxic AI-powered solutions.
THE METHODOLOGY: UX Strategy is the essential first step before design or development starts. It shapes a validated vision by testing solutions with real customers to confirm market fit, using lightweight, evidence-based tactics that speed progress.
JAIME’S BOOK: Jaime Levy is the author of the top-selling book “UX Strategy” (O’Reilly Media, 2nd edition), widely regarded as the definitive guide to user experience strategy. Translated into nine languages, the book explores the intersection of business strategy and product design through both practical and theoretical perspectives.
