Masterclass overview

What you'll get

A clear strategy beyond product competition

Apply business model patterns to compete beyond features and products.

A hard look at your current business

Use our proven frameworks to assess your business, including AI disruption risk. Eliminate weaknesses, double down on what works, and create viable new options.

Clarity on how to increase enterprise value

Understand how your business drives value and equity. Substantially increase your valuation. For listed companies, SMBs, and new ventures.

AI disruption response

Assess where product-based competition breaks down and where AI and other disruptions require a business model response.

Business model portfolio decisions

Understand how to manage multiple business models at the same time. Make explicit choices across business models to allocate resources, manage risk, and build a long-term advantage.

Clear next moves to outcompete

You won’t leave with just ideas. Define concrete strategic actions that move you beyond product competition and toward a defensible business model advantage.

Most companies compete on products. The ones built for growth and resilience compete on business models that AI and competitors can't easily replicate. This Masterclass gives you the tools to assess your vulnerabilities, find your leverage, and define your next moves.

Most companies compete on products. The companies that outperform over time compete with defensible business models that are hard to copy.

This masterclass helps you assess, strengthen, and reinvent your business model to create a lasting competitive advantage. Work on your own business, not case studies, and leave with a clear action plan for growth.

Diagnose where your business model is vulnerable and where it creates advantage. Assess disruption risks, including the impact of AI. Identify viable new opportunities. Design a stronger business model with greater growth potential, resilience, and clear next moves.

Who is this for

This Masterclass is for individuals and teams who want to strengthen existing business models or design new ones.

It is designed for established organizations working with current businesses, as well as teams exploring new models from scratch.

It is especially relevant for leaders and teams in strategy, product, finance, R&D, and growth roles who want to compete beyond products and features.

We also welcome startup and new-venture teams, as well as coaches and consultants who support organizations with business-model strategy and renewal.

Two weeks of prep work. One day in-person workshop. Real work, end to end.

A short, sharp sequence designed to fit around the way executive teams actually work — with the in-person day at its center.

Where will it take place

Cargo Hall, South Wharf — built for the kind of day this is.

A high-ceilinged hall on the Yarra with the space, the light, and the wall surface to actually do strategy work — not a hotel ballroom with a projector. Catered through the day, fast wifi, easy to get to from anywhere in Melbourne.

Limited to 90 seats across roughly 20 teams. Small enough that every team gets attention; large enough to see how others are thinking.
