This course is aimed at leaders, managers and strategists working in or with media companies. The ideal participant is a decision maker, responsible for or participating in strategic processes. While the program is geared towards leaders, you do not need to directly manage a team – we also welcome senior individual contributors or strategists.

Some examples of roles that might be a good fit for the course: Strategy lead, business development lead, department head, digital director, innovation lead, senior product manager or product director, online editorial director, digital transformation coordinator, managing editor, business director, VP Digital, Chief of Staff.

Small group learning experiences with confidential conversations are centered around a specific business transformation, management or leadership challenge. They are designed to allow for immediate impact even for busy professionals: After finishing a Deep Dive, we want you to immediately be ready to tackle the issues addressed more effectively. Our Deep Dives are 1-2 days (in person) or 1-2 weeks long (online).

We’ll get back to you within 10 days to let you know if you’re accepted into the course. You will then receive the payment details. Keep in mind that your spot in the program will not be secured until you paid the tuition in full. Payments are possible by bank transfer or via Stripe. 

We strive to provide a productive, well designed learning environment. Therefore, we reserve the right to turn down applications if the participant does not fulfill the course requirements.

The course will take place virtually via Zoom in the week from January 22 to 26. Ten hours of live sessions will be spread out over 5 days, and course content will also be made available asynchronously. 

Please find a draft schedule for the course HERE.
