The Metaverse (Future) of Work

Most companies will have a work stack that includes some aspects of in-person, remote, and virtual work. In this session, I share our firm's experience working virtually in the metaverse, what we've learned and what the value has been.

Strategy Made Simpler (but not easy)

Most leaders misunderstand or avoid strategic analysis work, thereby not having a well-thought-out and high-impact strategy for their organizations. In this session, Ryan shares why strategy is misunderstood, the elements of a sound strategy, and how to execute with discipline.

Product Learning Lab

4 hours

You have a great idea for a digital product and have committed to making your vision a reality. What now?

Learn to speak the language of your precut team to get that great idea out of your head, and into the world. Learn how to build persona’s, define your epics and features, draw the line for your MVP and listen learn where to spend your dollars next based on what your customers actually need.
