What you walk out with
A scored, ranked picture of your own function, and a defensible answer to what to fix first.
1 You stop guessing where you stand.
You finish with a score, not an opinion: every part of your function rated red, amber or green, with the weakest ranked first. Evidence: a Quick Scan for the shape of it, then seven domain assessments of 30 scored questions each, 210 in all, rolled into one scorecard, plus a maturity radar and a current-versus-target gap analysis.
2 You can defend the decision.
You walk into the budget round with the gap named, the owner named and done defined, instead of a case built on instinct. Evidence: project charter, scope statement, RACI, requirements traceability and work breakdown structure, pre-filled in your domain's language.
3 The work actually moves.
The month after the decision is already built, so nothing stalls waiting for someone to design a form. Evidence: more than 60 project templates across all five PMBOK process groups, plus runbooks, SOPs, a KPI framework, audit checklists and a risk matrix. 55 to 65 files in total.
4 You use it the day it lands.
No blank templates to interpret. Every workbook opens with what it is, who uses it, when, how, a 1 to 5 scoring guide, what good looks like, and a worked example you delete and type over.
The Quick Scan is one sitting. You will know your weakest area before the day is out.
Nothing in it is generic project management: the build rejects any file that could belong to another course. Updated after you enrol, so it reflects where the work stands now. The 144-chapter course is included behind it, for the parts you want to go deeper on.
You’re responsible for results, but you can’t prove where your Customer Power function stands — or why the next dollar should go here and not elsewhere.

The situation this is built for

Every quarter, the pressure grows to show progress in how your organization harnesses customer power. But without a clear benchmark, every initiative feels like a guess. You’re asked to prioritize, but you lack the framework to compare gaps. When budget season hits, you’re forced to defend decisions without data or structure. You need a way to assess maturity, identify what to fix first, and justify it — not with hype, but with rigor.

Who this is for

A senior leader who owns the strategy and execution of how their organization identifies, activates, and scales customer power through structured processes, feedback loops, and operational alignment.

Who this is not for

This is not for consultants selling frameworks, general marketers, or those looking for plug-and-play software solutions. It’s for the person accountable for the function itself.

What you walk away with

  • Assess your Customer Power function’s current maturity objectively
  • Rank gaps in capability, process, and influence with precision
  • Build a defensible case for what to fix first — and why
  • Align leadership around priorities using shared diagnostic criteria
  • Turn ambiguous feedback into actionable improvement steps

How this maps to your situation

  • Assessment: Where are we now?
  • Diagnosis: What’s broken and why?
  • Prioritization: What to fix first?
  • Advocacy: How to get support and resources

Before vs. after

Before
You’re reacting to pressure without a framework, struggling to prove progress, and defending priorities without data.
After
You lead with clarity, backed by a rigorous assessment, a ranked roadmap, and a defensible case for investment.

If nothing changes
Without a structured way to assess and act, your Customer Power function will remain reactive, underfunded, and disconnected from strategic outcomes — leaving customer insights untapped and leadership confidence eroding.

How this compares to the alternatives

Unlike generic customer experience courses or tool-specific certifications, this program focuses exclusively on the operational maturity of your Customer Power function. It does not teach theory or software — it equips you to assess, prioritize, and improve the real work your team does every day.

Also included: the full course, for when you want the reasoning behind a finding (12 modules, 144 chapters)

Depth reference. The diagnostic and the templates stand on their own; this is what to read when you want the reasoning behind a finding.
