The Strategy Blueprint - Master the art of turning vision into strategy and impact

We’ll dive into what makes a strong product vision, how to turn that vision into a strategy that actually works, and how to get your team and stakeholders aligned around it.

Here is what we will discuss during the meetings

Defining Product Vision & Strategy: What makes a compelling vision vs. strategy, common myths, and the role in inspiring teams and aligning stakeholders.
Turning Vision into Strategy: Moving from “why” to “how,” defining strategic pillars, and using frameworks like OKRs, discovery, and opportunity solution trees.
Aligning Stakeholders Around Strategy: Driving buy-in, handling disagreements, and tailoring communication for execs vs. teams.
From Strategy to Execution: Test ideas fast with minimal resources, MVP thinking, empathy-driven execution, experimentation culture, feedback loops, and embrace failure as fuel for learning
Measuring Strategic Success: How to define and track success metrics for vision and strategy, balancing leading vs. lagging indicators, and avoiding vanity metrics.
Becoming a Strategic Product Leader: Using strategy as a career differentiator, building credibility (inside and outside your org), and continuous sharpening of strategic thinking.
Become a Mentee
