What is the High-Stakes Product Positioning course about?

Even with deep expertise, product leaders often face misalignment between engineering, marketing, and executive teams. Messages get diluted, roadmaps stall, and go-to-market efforts underperform, despite solid technology. The gap isn't in execution; it's in positioning: how the product is framed, who it's for, and why it matters now. Without a unified narrative, even breakthrough products fail to gain traction.
