Find & Define the Right Problem
Too many people waste time coming up with great solutions for the wrong problems. Boost your chances for success by getting the problem right from the start.
Connect Deeply with Customers
Successful entrepreneurs and designers don’t sit in their office imagining what people want. They learn from “extreme users” and analogous situations (e.g. other industries). Learn how!
Generate Insights
Learn how to focus on WHY people do what they do and what they really want. This is the basis of stable and growing business offerings.
Envision the Future (in Detail!)
The first step in creating the future is framing the opportunity in a way that’s real. We’ll teach you methods for designing tomorrow.
Brainstorm & Craft Solutions
We’ll teach you how to get beyond the obvious to create radical new solutions. Discover how to make things 10X better, not just 10%.
Prototype, Experiment, Launch!
Get it right before you scale! Learn how to prototype effectively, design experiments, and maximize your chances for a successful launch.
