    Most product leaders are adding AI to their roadmap. The best ones are rebuilding their strategy around it.

    Bolting AI onto existing products is not a strategy. This 8-week sprint is for Directors, VPs, and Heads of Product who need to move from incremental thinking to AI-native leadership — covering strategy, defensibility, portfolio management, monetization, operating models, discovery, and transformation. Every week ends with a deliverable your org can act on.

    What You'll Learn

    🧠

    AI-Native Product Strategy

    Shift from incremental AI thinking to designing products where intelligence is the foundation — not a feature layer. Build the mental model for probabilistic, AI-native product design.

    🏰

    Defensible Moats in the AI Era

    Learn why model-level differentiation is short-lived and how to build durable advantage through proprietary data loops, workflow integration, and continuous learning systems.

    📊

    AI Portfolio and Monetization

    Move from disconnected AI experiments to an intentional portfolio strategy. Design AI-native pricing models that reflect variable usage, inference costs, and outcome-based value.

    🚀

    Pilot to Scale

    Close the gap between impressive demo and reliable production. Design AI systems for trust, failure modes, and quality — with evaluation frameworks and cost-performance tradeoffs built in.

    Who Is This For?

    This sprint is designed for:

    👔

    Group PMs, Directors, and Heads of Product

    Responsible for product vision and roadmap across AI-first or AI-transforming organizations — who need the full leadership toolkit, not just feature-level AI knowledge.

    🚀

    Founders Building AI Products

    Who need to make durable decisions on strategy, defensibility, monetization, and operating model before those decisions get expensive to change.

    🏢

    VPs and Product Leaders at Scale

    Owning AI strategy at the organizational level — responsible for multiple teams, product lines, or the full P&L of an AI-powered business.

    Projects You'll Ship

    Leave with real work to show, not just a certificate.

    01

    AI-Native Strategy + Moat Map

    A strategy memo identifying an AI-native opportunity — with a moat map that diagnoses the current sources of defensibility, where they erode in an AI-commoditized world, and the prioritized investments that rebuild durable advantage. The artifact that answers 'why will we still win in two years?'

    02

    AI Portfolio + Monetization Model

    A structured AI portfolio across three time horizons with clear prioritization criteria and a scale/kill decision framework — plus an AI-native monetization model with cost-value tradeoffs mapped out. The two documents that turn AI chaos into a strategy your CFO and board can fund.

    03

    AI Product Leadership Strategy Capstone

    Your complete AI product leadership strategy: operating model, AI-powered discovery workflow, production readiness framework, transformation roadmap, and synthesis across all eight weeks — presented live to the cohort. The portfolio piece that demonstrates senior AI product leadership at the organizational level.

    What Students Say

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    "The moat mapping framework in Week 2 changed how I present strategy to my board. I stopped talking about features and started talking about data loops and switching costs. Completely different conversation."

    Priya Shah

    Priya Shah

    VP of Product · Notion

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    "Week 4 on monetization was worth the entire sprint. We were about to reprice our AI product the wrong way — usage-based when we needed outcome-based. Sanaz's framework caught it before we shipped."

    Marcus Chen

    Marcus Chen

    Head of Product · Stripe

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    "I came in with 15 disconnected AI initiatives and no way to prioritize them. I left with a portfolio framework, a kill list, and a 3-horizon roadmap my CEO funded in the next planning cycle."
