Empowered by Marty Cagan
In most product companies, the role of true product leadership is largely missing in action. Instead, there are mainly facilitators, responsible for staffing the in-house (or even worse, outsourced) feature factory, and keeping the trains running on time.

Our Mission

Have you ever wondered what product strategy really is? Have you questioned your current strategy? Felt like your company didn't have a strategy? Wondered what great product strategy looks like? Felt let down by most sites and templates talking about strategy? If yes, then you are in the right place, and it's exactly why we built PS.co.

No single word conjures so many meanings, while being completely ambiguous. This is why product leaders and makers from companies like Apple, Disney, Netflix, Stripe, and others subscribe to our newsletter.

We're on a mission to help every product person understand product strategy.

How we help you develop a winning strategy

Many websites offers a template, eBook, and 1500-word article on building a product strategy. But while ok to good, they're not great – and often this content is not created by the people behind real, winning product strategies. The #1 book on Amazon.com for Product Strategy is written by an Agile Coach turned product influencer with no experience crafting real-world product strategy. We're here to change this.

Product Strategy encompasses a number of inputs – from business strategy and goals, market and customer research, the team and technology, positioning and channel strategy, the current offering and metrics, and more – required to develop a winning one that everyone can align around.

This site is where we show you the exact tips, frameworks, and techniques you need to develop your Product Strategy without fluff or high-level advice.

Just actionable, honest guidance.

Partnerships

We believe partnerships help us better serve our community. We actively seek partnerships with individuals and organizations that share our vision of delivering high-quality product strategy content.

Some of the partnership opportunities include:

  • Sponsorships - We accept a limited number of sponsors for our blog, podcast, and events. Sponsorship is a great way to get your brand in front of our engaged community of product professionals and over 100k unique monthly visitors.
  • Guest Contributors - Industry experts are invited to contribute guest posts to our blog. This is a chance to share your knowledge with our audience.
  • Event Collaboration - We welcome opportunities to co-host local workshops and meetups related to product management, development, design and more.
  • Research Partnerships - We collaborate with researchers and institutions to produce original studies and surveys on product strategy topics. This provides valuable insights for our community.

If you or your company is interested in exploring a partnership, we want to hear from you. We carefully vet all partnerships to ensure they provide value to our community.

Please contact us at hello at productstrategy dot co to tell us about your organization and ideas.

About Stephen

This site was founded by Stephen M. Walker II, an internationally recognized Product Leader and Co-founder/CEO of Klu.ai, an LLM App Platform. Over the last 20 years, Stephen built exceptional businesses, teams, and products at Klu, AT&T, Capital One, Amazon, and Productboard.

He also failed at times, saw products that once worked get sold or shelved, and had v1 of a Dropbox-like app get cancelled in 2006 after a strategy shift lost internal buy-in and no interested external buyer.

By day he leads Klu.ai building the first Generative AI App platform for businesses to design, deploy, and optimize LLM-powered applications.

Before founding Klu, he led product management and strategy at Productboard and spoke at Product School, covering product leadership topics.
