Bootcamps and Customizable Trainings

Create your  Innovation Strategy.  Learn how to build out an intentional innovation ecosystem and create buy-in from competing stakeholders with our Innovation workshops.  

Got a wicked problem? 

Ideation sessions can provide dozens of ideas for new products or services. Follow-up by validating an experiment with Design Sprints or  Design Thinking workshops.

Learn how to get deeper empathy with your customers, unleash ideas that will delight them, validate the ones they will buy or use, and then create a rapid prototype. End the week ready to pivot, persevere, or stop. 

Pulling from the toolkits provided through Stanford's Design school, Google's "Sprint," and Eric Reis' "The Startup Way," design sprints are meant to be fast paced, interactive, and requires the decision makers to be involved. 

You can expect a hands-on, fast-paced experience that utilizes innovation exercises, design thinking, and collaboration with others.
