We often hear from people who have read the book Play Bigger (co-authored by our partner, Kevin Maney) and have questions about running their own category design / category creation project. Now you can reserve a slot to bounce issues off a Category Design Advisors partner – pro bono.
In response to the Covid-19 crisis, we now offer category design workshops via Zoom. The same process, the same outcome, but with some social distancing. We've also broken the process into a SaaS type model that better suits today's new normal.
