The Strategy Therapy course is asynchronous so you can complete it on your schedule. The core training is about 5 hours long, but the exercises, prompts, and reflective thinking are best absorbed over a few weeks. In addition to the self-paced training, there will also be live workshops with the Category Pirates. Each live workshop is 60 minutes long, and these are a great way to get feedback and learn from others.

Yes. In fact, you might be at an advantage.

Strategy Therapy teaches a new way of approaching strategy planning that you likely haven’t seen anywhere else. Once you learn the approach and understand where your company sits on the Strategy Chessboard, you can immediately apply it to your current business. You don't have to wait until next year to get the benefits and know you're on the right track.

If you can't attend a live workshop, know that we record each of them and share the video replays with a summary, key takeaways, transcripts, and everything you could possibly need to soak the learnings out of them. If you have questions after watching a recording, you can reach out to other crew members or us Pirates for help.

We do our best to accommodate everyone, but we can't promise our timing will align with your schedule.

It’s possible. But you might not find much information about the Strategy Therapy framework because (from what we've seen) no one has ever taught how to approach strategy in this way.

We created the mini-course because we heard from so many leaders frustrated with the annual strategy planning process. They've read all the strategy books and still feel like they're locked in a competition-first approach. And between the hours spent aggregating all of the free content, chasing down senior-level executives to try and unlock this approach, and trying to figure out the pitfalls and challenges on your own...

We think the $1,000 is well worth it.

Once a Strategy Therapy Pirate, always a Strategy Therapy Pirate. You’ll have access to the platform and this course material for as long as it exists in the Category Design Academy.

This includes all training, resources, and materials shared within the mini-course.
