This two-day Master Class will give participants a hands-on experience on how to prototype, validate and implement innovative business models, products and services with a “lean” development approach.
Who should attend?
The Master Class has been designed for people, who already have a concrete business idea and are interested in proven, hands-on tools to prototype, validate and implement innovative and environmentally conscious business models, products and services.
Participants should be able to pitch their existing business ideas in front of an audience.
Objectives
After the two-day session, participants will be able to:
- Identify critical hypotheses in their innovative business models, products services
- Build prototypes and run business experiments (with simple means)
- Design minimum viable business models, products and services
- Manage “lean” implementation projects under conditions of high uncertainty
The Master Class will be a mix of input presentations, short break-out sessions, case studies and intense group work sessions, in which participants are invited to experience various tools, methods and materials, from paper prototyping, large-scale posters as “shared spaces”, LEGO Serious Play to software-based tools for virtual team collaboration and crowd sourcing.
Toolbox
Each participant will receive a personal toolbox that can be used even after the Master Class. The toolbox contains a handbook with descriptions and how-to guidelines for all methods used in the sessions, high-resolution templates and a free one year license for the collaboration software “Rapid Modeler” upon request.
