Now you can get strategic alignment, fast.
Multiverse Mapping is Tom Kerwin’s visual method that he’s used with hundreds of teams to get them aligned and prioritised in under an hour.
And now he’s sharing it in this online self-paced course. 4 hours of videos that will get you comfortable with making Multiverse Maps, then show you how to use your map to communicate clearly and influence strategy.
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 realised that our success always depends on the behaviours of people and systems that are outside of our control. And so I created this visual method called Multiverse Mapping to expose those crucial behaviours quickly, simply and inarguably, so that we could stop swinging our big opinions around and start getting important stuff done.
I used this with all my teams, and everything started to change. I now use the method with my clients, share it with people I’m coaching and teach it at conferences.
I've used Multiverse Mapping to:
- diagnose a fatal product problem that was costing >$4m/year - in 3 days
- redirect a tech team from 3 months of wasted effort - in 3 hours
- iterate a successful new product (worth $millions) - in 10 weeks
- ship to a critical deadline even when API documents were wrong - in 2 weeks
- choose between competing product strategies - in 90 minutes
- coach dozens of teams to take effective, adaptive action - in under an hour
- launch businesses
- and more
Basically, Multiverse Mapping has been so valuable to me that I want you to have it in your toolkit too. And this online course gives you the distilled essence of everything I've learned over the past 8 years.
Wait … what’s a Multiverse Map?
Here’s a simple example. You can see the Multiverse Map in green and orange, nestling between the high-level hopes and goals and the day-to-day to-dos and concerns:
👆 Simply making a quick map like this with your team is powerful enough that it’s a no-brainer. I make a map for almost all my projects, and regret it every time I don’t.
But it really gets good when you combine it with other methods.
In the course, I’ll show you:
- how to use your Multiverse Maps to communicate more strategically using pivot triggers
- how to slice, prioritise and iterate your work
- how to design experiments and research that actually influences decisions
- how to (finally!) figure out the right metrics for any initiative
- and more.
Multiverse Mapping can be used seamlessly with almost any other product or design framework: flywheels, stars, trees, journeys, etc.
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.

In case you think I’m full of it, here’s what others have said
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.
I’m excited to help you make progress.
