An Online Course To Help You Learn The Language of Business Strategy
Master the principles and frameworks that strategy consultants use to influence CEOs and business leaders globally
Why Do Former Consultants Advance So Fast In Their Careers?
It Starts With Simple, Powerful Frameworks
Pyramid Principle
A way to structure your thinking to make compelling & persuasive arguments
MECE
A method of organizing information that makes it easier for others to understand
PowerPoint Storytelling
Present data and tell a stories in a way that doesn't put your audience to sleep
I created StrategyU to create a structured environment to help knowledge professionals learn and practice these skills
(without the 80-hour weeks!)
Simple, But Not Easy
These principles seem obvious but when applied can be a challenge to master without proper coaching and feedback
Many Organizations Don't Incentivize Excellence
Most feedback in organizations is focused on manager pet peeves rather than what might enable people to create exceptional work
This Course Is Designed For
Senior Execs
Hands-on executives without strategy consulting experience that want to level up their thinking for Board & Investor presentations
Freelancers
Motivated self-employed professionals that want to improve their structure, communication and synthesis in their client work
Business Owners
Driven entrepreneurs who want to improve how they think about strategic business problems and improve how they communicate to their company
Students
University and MBA students who don't necessarily want to work in consulting but want to learn the skills from the industry

Sid, Tech Executive
"The ideas and coaching session from the course helped me fine tune a CEO-level presentation"
This course helped me get promoted! It provides a framework to communicate complex business problems in a clear and concise manner. I wish I knew about MECE sooner. 10 out of 10, would recommend!
