Course overview

Increase your chances of building a hugely successful product before you start.

If you've got a new product or startup idea, don't rush into building an MVP. Learn the strategy design methods I've used with startups and corporates to significantly improve your odds of success - before you even start thinking about the product or building anything.

This course is perfect for...

Startup founders who want to think critically about the focus and impact potential of their business.

Early-stage entrepreneurs who want to transform an idea into a validated holistic plan.

Product leaders who want to make a big bang with their next innovation.

Why take the Strategy Sprint Masterclass?

Your strategy and business model IS your product

Get right what the vast majority of founders and product people get wrong: a deliberate focus on your strategy, up front, significantly increases the odds of success and reduces the time to demonstrate traction.

Prepare for a reality check: your idea may need some rethinking.

Be prepared to pivot. If you're open-minded about what you should be focused on and the direction you should take, you'll love this course. It'll help remove any subconscious biases that have crept into your idea.

A plan on how to test your riskiest assumptions and demonstrate traction.

Prioritise what really needs to be validated to de-risk your business model, and design experiments you can run right away.

Everything you need to run a Strategy Sprint with your team.

You'll get all the slides and Miro templates we go through in the course.
