Masterclass overview

What you'll get

A strong, validated value proposition

Learn and apply proven value proposition concepts directly to your own context using a hands-on, application-driven format.

Value Propositions across the entire Customer Ecosystem Map

Design distinct value propositions for users, buyers, decision-makers, channel partners, and other critical stakeholders (B2B & B2C).

Meaningful differentiation that customers care about

Define differentiation based on what truly matters to customers, not just features or competitive noise.

Value-based pricing grounded in customer value

Set prices based on perceived customer value and willingness to pay, not internal cost structures.

Validated and ranked customer benefits, backed by evidence

Run value scene interviews and targeted experiments to replace assumptions with proof.

Validated value proposition statements with AI

Use AI to craft, test, and iterate strong value proposition statements.

What participants achieved

The Strategyzer masterclass gave me the tools and confidence to turn ideas into businesses with greater certainty and less money!

Andrew Buzinsky
Business Performance Coach

The masterclass really helped me by providing practical examples of how to test business ideas and create an innovative culture & strategy.

Wietske Galema
Offering Manager

The Masterclass was truly excellent. It has the perfect balance between theory, practical cases, and application to the reality of my company.

Martin Giorgetti
Strategic Innovation Advisor

Design and validate value propositions customers are willing to pay for.

This Masterclass helps you renew existing value propositions and design and validate new ones that customers will pay for.

Value propositions blur, and differentiation erodes as companies scale and mature. R&D, product, and venture teams default to assumptions instead of evidence.

Learn and apply practical tools to systematically improve existing value propositions, design and validate new ones, and reduce demand risk before committing significant resources.

Tools and concepts you'll master

Value Proposition Canvas, Value Map, Strategy Canvas and differentiation (Kim & Mauborgne), Four Actions Framework (Kim & Mauborgne), Value Proposition Patterns, Push/Pull Adoption Framework (Moesta & Spiek), Customer Journey Maps, Service Blueprints, Value Based Pricing. 

Access to all the Strategyzer playbooks, learning resources, tools, and digital canvases

Experiments you'll lead around value propositions

Value Scenes (AI-assisted), Storyboards (AI-assisted), Card Sort (AI-assisted), Speed Boat, Buy-a-Feature, Product Box (AI-assisted), Explanatory Videos (AI-assisted), Mockups (AI-assisted), AI-assisted functional or physical prototyping (e.g. vibe-coding), Landing Pages (AI-assisted), Ads (AI-assisted), Customer Co-Creation Workshops, Letter of Intent, Simulated Sales, Wizard of Oz & Concierge Experiments.

Who is this for

This Masterclass is for anyone who wants to design great value propositions or renew existing ones.

It is designed for individuals and teams in established organizations working with existing value propositions and customers, as well as individuals and teams exploring new ideas from scratch.

It is particularly relevant for people in marketing, sales, product, R&D, and growth roles who want to excel at creating winning value propositions.

We also welcome startup and new venture teams, as well as coaches and consultants who want to better support their clients.
