Decision Stack Workshops

Join our hands-on workshops to level up your strategic thinking
and learn how to align your organisation!

The biggest challenge facing product teams today isn't that high-impact efforts are falling short - it's that they're prioritising work that has no chance of delivering meaningful business impact in the first place.

Which is why I developed a one-day, hands-on workshop to really dig in to strategy and teach everyone how to be more strategic - so you stop building the wrong things.

I've run this workshop with Mind the Product, Product at Heart, and internally in companies - and now I'm opening it up to the public on December 3 in London. Don't miss this chance to level up the impact of your work, learn how to be more strategic, and be proactive rather than reactive in this world of fast-paced change!

Next Workshop: London, December 3

What's in the Workshop: A Full Day Focused on Strategy and Principles

Workshop overview

The Decision Stack is a mental model which helps align organisations from top to bottom, and bottom to top – increasing decision-making velocity and quality throughout! Currently being used around the world in large complex organisations as well as fast-paced start-ups, this Decision Stack Workshop will help you connect the dots all the way from vision/mission through to every daily decision made in our companies. Leaders can make the necessary connections between existing theories around vision, strategy, and execution layers and understand how important they are to a cohesive approach. Individual team members can truly understand how their work connects to the bigger picture – and how to challenge their leadership where that clarity is lacking.

Using a mix of short lectures, hands-on activities, and group discussions, Martin Eriksson will teach you how to consider your full Decision Stack and deep dive into the two most challenging aspects: defining your strategy and defining your principles. Most importantly this workshop will help you understand your role in bringing these concepts back to your team in order to drive alignment and make better decisions.

What we’ll cover on the day

• What is the Decision Stack – understanding it as a mental model
• Defining Strategy and Product Strategy – understanding your role in defining strategy at any level of the organisation as well as practical tips for defining your product strategy
• Product Principles – how they work and what they might help you achieve – along with practical activities to help you draft your principles
• How to bring the product strategy and principles thinking back to your organisation – making a plan for working towards clarity within your team and the wider company

Key takeaways

• How to own strategy at any level and how to help your team own strategy together
• How to use principles to make and codify decisions
• How to collaborate with your team to drive efficient decision-making in your organisation

Who should attend

• ​Experienced product managers, designers, and engineers who want to level up their strategic impact at work
• ​Leaders who want to speak the language of strategy better in their organisations
• ​Founders, CEOs, and execs who want to understand how to craft a data-driven, compelling strategy - and make it land with their teams

Things to note

Please remember that strategy (company, product, or otherwise) is nuanced and complex. This workshop will provide some tools and ideas for you to get started, but you probably won’t walk away with a perfectly crafted strategy.
