WHO WE ARE Sequent Learning Networks provides product management training, business acumen training, and product management organizational capability development for companies that design, build, and manage products as a core business. We work with senior leaders, HR, and product organizations to improve product decision-making, leadership effectiveness, and business outcomes. WE BUILD PRODUCT MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY THAT DRIVES BUSINESS RESULTS Sequent Learning Networks exists to help organizations strengthen how product decisions are made, funded, and executed. We partner with senior leaders, product executives, and HR and L&D teams to build durable product management capability, not just train individuals or certify roles. For more than two decades, organizations have trusted Sequent to improve product leadership, decision quality, and cross-functional alignment in complex environments where growth, innovation, and execution must coexist. OUR POINT OF VIEW Most organizations don’t suffer from a lack of product frameworks or training options, they struggle with inconsistent decision-making, unclear accountability, weak business acumen, and misalignment between strategy and execution. We believe product management is not a role to be trained in isolation. It is an organizational capability that must be intentionally designed, developed, and sustained over time. That belief shapes everything we do. FOUNDED ON EXPERIENCE, NOT THEORY Sequent is a product management and business acumen training company founded by Steven Haines, a recognized authority in product management, business acumen, and strategic thinking. For more than 20 years, Steven has worked with global organizations to improve how products are conceived, prioritized, funded, and brought to market. He is the author of multiple books used by product leaders and organizations worldwide, including The Product Manager’s Desk Reference, The Business Acumen Handbook, Strategic Thinking in Action, and Product Strategy and Roadmapping. Sequent’s programs are grounded in this practitioner perspective, not academic models or one-size-fits-all best practices.
