The Program

We believe that Product Management is the growth engine of companies. The Program is designed for companies and Product People with an ambition to grow.

A PROGRAM FOR PRODUCT ACTIONS.

The Program is designed to release your product management superpowers, giving you instant abilities to evolve your way of working. While at the same time building your long-term capabilities, professionally and personally, in product management.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

The Program is built around a multidimensional learning journey combining knowledge sessions, cohort sessions, films, material, and quizzes to empower action while developing knowledge growth. Simply put, we learn by actions, and the right actions are built on knowledge. Therefore, the multidimensional approach evolves both parts of your professional life – the practical part of doing and the competence part of learning.

In The Program, we use multiple tools and channels, your entire learning journey is guided and supported by the system setup in addition to The Program Guardian. Altogether, the Program consists of 22 digestible bits spanning in little over a month, growing your abilities one bit at a time. As soon as you sign up the learning starts, and so do your actions.
