4 TOOLS TO CREATE PRODUCTS CUSTOMERS LOVE

Discover how to create products that customers will love so that you can launch a profitable business, or confidently explore a new career in product and innovation strategy

What is it?

80% of products that are launched, fail.

Why? They don't focus on solving a problem that enough customers have to be a profitable solution.

Design thinking is a framework that allows you to understand problems from a customer’s perspective and come up with ways to solve them creatively.

This course provides a practical and hands-on approach to how you can use 4 key design thinking tools to come up with products that you can be confident customers will love. It will help you to:

  • Define customer problems that are worth solving
  • Use ideation techniques to quickly generate and develop new ideas
  • Quickly take ideas and see if they translate into a viable business

Whose it for?

  • Anyone interested in design thinking but doesn’t know how to apply it
  • Those looking for more creative and human-centred problem-solving techniques
  • Those looking to build confidence in how to improve a current product, or launch a new product 

The result?

You’ll be better equipped to explore new career possibilities, expand the scope of the work you’re doing with clients or within your business, or feel confident to move forward with a new product idea that customers will love.

Testimonial

⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️
I just finished the course and I could not have asked for a better way to grasp the fundamentals of design thinking. 

This hands-on course stands out for its clear and effective practical approach. 

Step-by-step explanatory videos help you fully understand this agile methodology, from key principles, to research and techniques and how to create an ideation workshop to reach a potential idea and how this can become a business opportunity. 

Furthermore, the last videos are focused on great strategies on how to design your own workshop, how to pitch it internally within your company and to create a proposal deck for clients.

Loved it! Amazing course, great content, I would recommend to anyone who wants to drive business growth.
