TESTIMONIALS FROM COLAB MEMBERS
I kind of fell into my role within product practice so Colab has really helped me simplify the theory and framework that applies to product strategy. The structure of the sessions has such good balance of learning, collaboration and application, which I've already been able to translate into my day-to-day work. I've definitely had a lot of aha moments. There are so many tools and resources that you have access to. For me the best has definitely been the workbook which helps apply each week's learnings and something that I know that I'll refer to regularly in the future. I'd say the best thing about the cohort is having a platform to connect with product people outside of your own workplace. The community that you become a part of and having the opportunity to get to know other passionate and like-minded product people have been such a great experience and one of the reasons why I've enjoyed it so much. I would 100% recommend collab to any product person out there who's exploring Learning and Development opportunities to become a better Product Leader.
Colab has been the best product related course I have done. Very engaging in the cohort style and being able to break each of the sessions into smaller groups for discussion. Product strategy can be a daunting topic with no magic bullet framework to use. This course was great at giving real-world examples across different industries and companies. The best thing about the cohort was being able to work on your own product strategy throughout the course. You could apply what you learnt each week and build on this over the course. You then come away with something you can actually utilise in your work. I would highly recommend it to any other product leaders as strategy really amplifies your ability to make an impact!
