About This Course

Digital Strategy, Software Strategy, and Disruption principles from Tech Titans, Entrepreneurs, and Business Thinkers

I wish a course like this had existed 20 years ago!

I will teach you how to think far ahead of the competition, using principles of strategy and disruption that have worked consistently for 40 years and continue to be used by Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and other tech leaders.

What's so special about this course?

  • The only place you will find a detailed description of the 8 technology "laws" that drive the evolution of the software industry.

  • The first course to show how a software strategist applies unchanging technology laws to craft digital strategy and to disrupt industries.

  • A powerful 6-layer model for how to analyse and build digital strategy.

  • 40+ years of industry experience condensed into less than 2 hours; packed with concrete examples from hundreds of tech leaders.

What's in it for you?

Using the 6-layer model combined with the 8 fundamental "laws" you will:

  • Be able to predict key elements of the future of your industry with a high degree of accuracy, and make much better long-term decisions today;

  • Know how to design your product or service so that the  structure and dynamics of technology work for you and not against you;

  • Know how to identify opportunities for disruption of incumbents, and which strategies to apply for success;

  • Understand how to position your product or service for long-term success, particularly when you are facing larger and better funded competitors;

  • Become hype-resistant. Be able to understand the underlying mechanisms of new products and services and understand what is likely to be short-lived and what may be here to stay;

  • Solve the too-much-information problem! Leverage a robust mental framework that helps you sift through the flood of news and information we are all inundated with.

  • Impress colleagues, managers, and clients with your deep insights on competitive dynamics and technology evolution;


  • Make accurate 2-4 year predictions about key trends in any area of the software industry.

  • Defeat larger and more established incumbents with "disruptive" market entry techniques.

  • Develop a product or business strategy that will remain valid for years.

I love helping entrepreneurs and project managers go from "idea" to "success"! I've been in the software industry for over 20 years. For the last 12 years I've been an entrepreneur in the software, energy, management consulting, and finance industries. I've created, grown, bought, and sold companies and ideas.Before then I spent 11 years with Shell (the energy company). In...

I thought it referenced good theories and examples, delivery could have been a bit more exciting and less reference to the laws but rather the principals. But all in all an interesting course. Thank you

I really like the content itself, but there is much room for improvement in terms of visualization and alignment of content and agenda structure. Sorry, but if you take notes in parallel this confuses a lot

It's quite theoretical and more about software than I expected. I think of digital strategy as being broader than software and more about product. It's interesting tho and good background. I wish there were more course materials.

This in itself is a disruption to Udemy course. Simple. Easy-to-understand. Practical.

And the instructor is so experienced. Friendly. And clear.

Worth the investment.

I find the modules very easy to follow and understand. Wole demystifies complicated, but tried and proven concepts, and expands on them in ways that make them easy to understand and apply.
I consider this a must for anyone interested in the future of technology!

This course was fantastic and extremely organized. It gives you a compressive overview of the technology space. As you go through the course, it helps you to see how most of the successful technology companies arrange themselves strategically

The course should be bought by every tech enterprise especially startups so they can expose their key employees to principles that have been used and tried over and over again to build most of the great enterprises we know today. Every technical person should go through this course
