Master Multiverse Mapping: self-paced online course

Now you can get strategic alignment, fast.

Multiverse Mapping is Tom Kerwin’s visual method that gets you aligned and prioritised in under an hour.

Over 30,000 intrepid innovators have the method in their back pocket, courtesy of Tom’s Pip Deck Innovation Tactics. And he’s taught it to thousands of people in workshops, conferences and training sessions, refining it along the way.

Hello hello, Tom here.

Have you ever been in a meeting that was so high-level it was out of touch with reality? Or so deep in details that everyone lost track of why they were there in the first place?

You can’t get aligned when people are operating on different levels like that. The worst? When you think you’re aligned … then weeks later, you realise you weren’t.

I’ve been on all sides of this myself, as coder, designer, leader, founder and coach for teams in all kinds of companies.

Long story short, I tried all the processes I could find to overcome this struggle. But the theory in the books and talks didn’t match reality. Whatever I tried, teams still ended up doing too much work that wasn’t worth doing, or wasting time debating things that didn’t matter.

Then, five years ago, I stumbled on a breakthrough. I created a thing called a Multiverse Map and began making them with teams and clients. And everything started to change.

Since then, I've used Multiverse Mapping to:

  • diagnose a fatal product problem that was costing >$4m/year
  • redirect a tech team from 3 months of wasted effort
  • iterate a successful new product in 10 weeks (worth $millions)
  • ship to a critical deadline even when API documents were wrong
  • choose between competing product strategies in 90 minutes
  • coach dozens of teams to take effective, adaptive action
  • launch businesses
  • and more​

Basically, Multiverse Mapping has turned out to be so valuable that I want you to have it in your toolkit too. My online course gives you the distilled essence of everything I've learned.

What does the course give you?

You’ll work through 4 hours of structured video lessons. Packed with examples and guidance, they’ll take you from beginner to master mapper. You also get a PDF packed with notes about every session (easy to refer back to when you're in the thick of it).

After the course, you’ll be able to:

  • align teams to take meaningful action ... without debates or trying to persuade people to join a workshop or "kickoff"
  • prioritise real work to reduce risk rapidly ... without dubious spreadsheet maths or a fictitious impact/effort matrix
  • plan your work in the way that Pixar plans movies or Frank Gehry plans architecture
  • hand off work with all the important context included ... without endless presentations and questions
  • create momentum in your project by building confidence ... rather than the momentum of a slow-motion train crash
  • act and adapt so you can make critical changes while it’s cheap and easy.

What’s a Multiverse Map?

Here’s a very simple example, nestling between the high-level goals and the day-to-day work:

👆 Simply making a quick map like this with your team is powerful enough that it’s a no brainer. But it really gets good when you combine it with other methods.

In the course, I show you how to use your Multiverse Maps to communicate more strategically using pivot triggers, to slice up, prioritise and iterate your work, to design experiments and research that actually influence decisions, to figure out the right metrics, and more. And Multiverse Mapping can be used seamlessly with almost any other product or design framework: flywheels, stars, trees, journeys, etc.

In case you think I’m full of it, here’s what others have said

“Seeing a group of people who think in terms of projects and deliveries get excited about gathering data and going on the journey was a MAJOR level-up! In interviews, I’ll use this as a story about managing tricky stakeholders.”– Richard, product manager
“The energy that followed of wanting to take action was really nice to see. The best effect is the sense-making that emerged within the group.” – Johan, strategist and founder
“She said it was easy to jump in even when she wasn’t part of the previous sessions! She wanted a copy of the map to share with others! – Pirkka, software developer
“One of the most useful product development tactics we used … allowed us to drive strategic decisions with user-centric understanding.” – Graham, CEO and founder

Still deciding? Maybe some of this will sound familiar …

You want alignment and you’re:

❌ Fed up with debates, rework, delays (and surprise last minute changes)

❌ Burned out from constant delivery (with unclear outcomes)

❌ Struggling to prioritise (knowing the strategy will change again soon)

❌ Sick of working to unclear requirements (or contradictory ones)

Well then! Let Multiverse Mapping put an end to your misery.

With Multiverse Mapping, you’ll:

✅ get aligned on what matters about a piece of work in under an hour

✅ communicate clearly and efficiently with colleagues and leadership (they’ll love how fast you get to the point)

✅ open the door to pragmatic discovery (while making tangible progress on delivery)

✅ influence strategic decisions

Happy days or your money back

The course costs £119. I’m utterly convinced that it will be worth more than that to you. If it turns out not to be, I’ll refund you, no questions asked.
