Strategy
We help you figure out what's next.
What strategy means here
For us, strategy is a set of decisions about what to build, who it's for, and what to try first. We work through those decisions with you and your team, test the shakiest assumptions with real people, and write down what we decided and why. Then we stick around to help carry it out, and we expect the plan to change once real users get their hands on it.
What you can expect
Decisions you can act on
We focus on choices your team can start on next week. If a recommendation needs a budget or a hire you don't have, we'll say so and help you find a smaller first step.
A clear next step
Your team will know what they're building and why. When priorities compete, we help you pick, and we write down the reasoning so the decision holds up when someone asks about it three months later.
A team that gets better at this
We explain our thinking as we go so your people can make these calls without us. The goal is a team that can make the next round of decisions on its own.
Where to start
Building something new is already a risk. Strategy work won't remove that risk, but it does make sure you're spending it on the parts that matter. Some clients bring us in for six months as an interim CPO. Others want help planning the next quarter. Either way, the first step is a conversation about where you are and where you're trying to go.
ANVIL
Six weeks to an AI strategy you can defend.
If you've been asked for an AI strategy, Anvil is our six-week program for building one. Your team works on real problems, tests a few approaches, and builds prototypes, and we write the strategy from what they learned.
FIRST STEP
Book a call with Dave
We'll start with a call about where you are, where you're trying to go, and what's in the way. By the end you'll know whether we're a good fit and what working together would look like.
