Printed outline and cohort workbook still for Market Structure Diagnostics Lab

Description

Teams learn to translate structure-conduct-performance ideas into workshop-ready briefings. Exercises use anonymized sector vignettes so participants can rehearse narrative arcs they will later defend internally. Facilitators stress evidence quality standards and documentation habits that hold up when external reviewers ask follow-up questions.

What is included

  • Five live working sessions with pre-reads
  • Shared workbook templates for cohort teams
  • Facilitator review of one team brief per week
  • Optional office hours for methodology clarifications
  • Case rotation drawn from enterprise markets
  • Quality standards checklist for every deliverable
  • Access to annotated reading list for twelve weeks

Outcomes

  • Produce a structure memo with explicit assumptions
  • Align product and policy stakeholders on terminology
  • Present findings using the cohort slide architecture

FAQ

Participant notes
