This five-lesson course builds a practical growth strategy from diagnosis through operating rhythm. Complete it with a real business decision in mind; each lesson should improve the same working strategy document.

Lesson 1: Diagnose the context

Map the market, business model, customer journey, economics, capabilities, and recent performance. Separate facts, assumptions, and interpretations. Output: a one-page context brief.

Lesson 2: Name the constraint

Identify the bottleneck that most limits the desired outcome. Compare demand, conversion, activation, retention, monetization, and execution. Output: a ranked constraint hypothesis and evidence plan.

Lesson 3: Write the thesis

Choose the customer, behavior, promise, and mechanism that connect the constraint to the outcome. Output: a growth thesis clear enough to challenge and test.

Lessons 4 and 5: Choose and operate

Select up to three plays, define tradeoffs, and create a scorecard with leading indicators and guardrails. Establish a weekly review that turns evidence into decisions.

  • Complete one lesson per week.
  • Use real customer and performance evidence.
  • Ask a cross-functional peer to challenge each output.
  • Finish with a 90-day plan and first review date.
