About this course

This course teaches you to use Claude as a real reasoning partner for serious work.
What you'll learn:
• Structured prompting
• Projects
• Artifacts
• Creative prompting
• Analytical frameworks (SWOT, VRIO, Porter's Five Forces, BCG and more)
Every module includes practice prompts you run in Claude straight away, plus a "Your turn" task on your own real work. The course ends with a capstone where you build a complete strategic deliverable, from framing the problem to a verified final draft.
