How to use Claude Code to build a Strategy Thought Partner

Adobe's former CPO has called out a real problem with AI at work: we're outsourcing our thinking instead of expanding it. And he calls this “cognitive offloading”.

Instead, he argues that “cognitive expansion” where we use AI as a thought partner to develop our thinking, is a better way to use AI in the long term at work.

In this week’s 🧠 Knowledge Series, I take this principle and build a product strategy thought partner you can use at work.

This tool lets you run ideas past structured frameworks, stress-test decisions, and evaluate new features in a step by step conversation where the framework asks you questions – so you’re working with AI to think more clearly, not asking it to think for you.

The product strategy thought partner is grounded in over 25 practical, real world frameworks including:

• Kano Model

• Jobs to be done

• Pre-mortems

• Porter’s Five Forces and more.
