Course overview
THE POINT: For product designers and managers to succeed, they must speak business fluently. That means understanding how your company’s business strategy and product experience are interconnected. In this intensive 2-week course, led by an expert who leads Discovery Phases at major enterprises, you’ll gain the skills and language needed to drive effective product strategy.
HOW THE COURSE WORKS: We’ll meet twice 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 feedback on your project and/or to learn from the feedback to others.
LEARN THESE SKILLS:
• Craft clear problem statements and compelling value propositions
• Leverage proto-personas to structure insightful customer interviews
• Conduct systematic competitive research and analysis
• Develop storyboards that structure the prototype design for concept testing
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.
