Working in uncertainty? Ditch pointless debates and build momentum around the right idea.
Course overview
Innovation is about change. And change is always uncertain.
In this course, you'll master a set of deceptively simple tools that help teams make progress in uncertainty. You'll embrace risk and take meaningful action.
01
Product leaders who want to help your teams get unstuck. So they talk to you about signals and trade-offs (instead of confusion or excuses).
02
Product managers who want to be more strategic. Who want to innovate with their teams and deliver impact (instead of just status updates).
03
Designers who want to be more effective. Who want to change the way their companies bring new ideas to market (instead of pushing pixels).
Master the fast way to challenge, strengthen and build confidence in new ideas.
You know meetings where everyone's talking pie-in-the-sky ideas? You'll turn all the thoughtland waffle into a concrete Multiverse Map while people talk. Change any tedious meeting into a powerful collaborative workshop.
Understand which signals matter, and how to get them
Four types of signal matter for innovation: Real Need, "Get It", "Want It Enough" and "Worth It For Us". You'll learn how to define and agree pivot triggers for these signals with decision-makers before starting work. It'll change how you approach risk.
Turn confusing signals into insights that generate new ideas
No more being bamboozled by dodgy metrics. You'll help teams separate their observations from their interpretations and avoid the trap of simple stories. You'll translate signals of all kinds into ideas that nobody could have had otherwise.
Read colleagues' minds so you know how to influence decisions
Use a simple but powerful thought exercise to uncover the hopes and fears that drive your colleagues' behaviours (and your own). You can use this as a workshop or just in conversation. It'll change how you work.

Tom has been preoccupied with finding new ways to meet customers' needs for over 20 years. After falling in love with design, user research and marketing strategy while studying engineering at Cambridge, he co-founded a web agency that spun out 2 of the UK's biggest lead generation startups. He's been working with startups and product innovators ever since.
Specialising in complexity theory, Tom has coached multiple teams through the thorny "Second Product Problem".
He currently leads a team of 10 designers for an app with millions of users globally and is a non-executive director for an accountancy startup.
His card deck, Innovation Tactics, is soon to be released through Pip Decks, and his newsletter has been read by thousands of design and product professionals.
When not nerding out about design, he loves dancing Lindy Hop and hanging out with his kids, though not often at the same time.
