For organisations / Product Management
Align your Product teams to fuel your growth
Build the right Product Management capabilities to capitalise on digital investments and drive transformation.
What’s the cost of doing nothing?
Organisations invest an average of $1-$2 million into Product teams annually.
However, 40-80% of products fail either by never making it to the market or not meeting their key objectives and results once launched.
That is up to $1.6 million of wasted investment per organisation annually, resulting in failed transformations and unmet strategic objectives.

Turn Product into an engine of growth
Product management is the function that guides every step of a product’s lifecycle by focusing on the product and its customers.
The best Product teams work in lock step to spearhead transformation and guide activities that prepare their organisation for growth. Importantly, they routinely ship better-designed products that perform exceptionally well. When they’re not aligned, Product teams lack the processes, frameworks and mindsets to link their output to broader business objectives.
Every learner receives an industry-recognised product management certification and digital badge to showcase their new capabilities.
Get this critical function right with Product Management training that leverages a real organisational project and delivers an industry-leading learning experience.
