How to develop better digital products?
On November 27th one day before our conference, we offer several amazing full day workshops. We will provide lunch and plenty of coffee to fuel you through the day.
Pick the workshop you’re interested in and buy your ticket – be quick as there are very limited seats for each workshop (max. 20 per workshop to ensure the best possible learning experience). As the workshops are run in parallel you can only attend one of them, and once purchased you cannot change your workshop.
You should, of course, also join us at the conference the day after these workshops, but tickets are completely separate. Conference tickets do NOT give you access to workshops, nor do workshop tickets give you access to the conference.

Summary:
Product Discovery is an innovation technique that helps organisations to continuously improve existing products in new meaningful ways or to create completely new products that provide significant new customer value.
Participants of this hands-on & interactive workshop will learn about the basics of successful Product Discovery in order to drive and master the process of building the right products for the right people, serving the right needs, and thereby creating a better business outcome. Demonstrated by way of practical examples and exercises, participants will get practical knowledge on how to apply helpful innovation tools like the Unstuck Map and the Exploration Model in practice to understand the essentials of product innovation, and thereby will learn how to run and apply better Product Discoveries in their product teams.

- Conduct better Product Discoveries in their daily work.
- Close the gap between business vision and the reality of customer needs.
- Pick the right methods & tools at the right time.
- Make better and faster product decisions.
- Execute product innovation with confidence.
- Know how to start a new innovation effort.
