Welcome to the Business Strategy Academy You’re here because you’ve chosen to think before you act. My name is Parham Shariat. I’m a business strategist, author of The Business Strategy Plan: In the Age of AI, and the founder of this academy. I’ve spent years working with founders, operators, and business owners across different industries, helping them avoid the most expensive mistake in business: building without a clear, defensible strategy. This academy exists for one reason:to help you build a Business Strategy Plan you can confidently defend. This is not a course to watch.This is not a tactics forum.And it is not a place for shortcuts. Over the next 12 weeks, you’ll work through proven strategic frameworks, apply them directly to your business, and pressure-test your thinking through structured peer feedback. By the end, you will have a complete Business Strategy Plan that reflects your business, your market, and your long-term intent. A few important things to know from day one: - Strategy comes before tactics here. - You will not be told what to do — you will be asked better questions. - Disagreement is part of the process. Clarity often comes from challenge. - The quality of this academy depends on the seriousness of its members. Your first step:Please introduce yourself in the Introductions section. Share: - Who you are - What you’re building - What you want clarity on during these 12 weeks You don’t need a perfect answer. You just need a direction you’re willing to commit to. I’m glad you’re here.Let’s do the work carefully. — Parham
