Equipped with a new way to discover customer insights from yesterday, we will now learn to convert these insights into products and services!
We will learn and practice tools and methods to bring a customer insight into a business idea. Furthermore, we will explore transforming these ideas into a product prototype. Finally, we will reflect on how we might bring our learnings back to our workplace.
