Workshops

Individual workshop formats to suit your specific needs.

In the course of our daily project activities, we are often asked to provide training and coaching sessions which require not just our technological expertise, but also – and frequently – our methodological expertise. In response to this demand, we have developed a variety of workshop formats to help our customers tackle particular issues and quickly lead them to their goals.

We’ll be delighted to assist you, from your initial vision through the process optimisation and product development processes, all the way to the kick-off and market launch. Contact us, we’ll be happy to advise you!

Our Methods

In order to provide optimum support for your specific situation, we use a wide range of methods, which we deploy according to your requirements. Ideally, we like to start with a minimal version, as this enables us to learn early on from feedback and to focus on the essential elements of the product or process.

Use a Design Sprint to go from problem to tested prototype in five days
Use design thinking approaches to develop creative, user-centric solutions
Use a build-measure-learn cycle to continuously collect user feedback and iteratively develop your product further
Use a user journey to compare user needs with user experience
Use story mapping to break the big picture into actionable parts and define the various implementation stages
Use user research to qualitatively and quantitatively identify the needs and challenges of your target audience
Use user interviews to qualitatively determine a user’s underlying intentions and motives
Create empathy maps in order to identify user needs and make them transparent
Use personas to create a comprehensive user profile
Use the business model canvas to document, structure, and revise a new or existing business model
Use the Golden Circle model to develop a common vision and make it transparent
Develop prototypes to collect early-stage user feedback and use it to instantly validate ideas
Use a SWOT analysis to sharpen your own competitive position and define a market strategy
Use the Crazy 8s to creatively generate innovative ideas
and much more!

Foodicious Part 2 [German]: Von der Produktidee zum Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Foodicious ist eine App gegen die Lebensmittelverschwendung, die uns daran erinnert, wann unsere eingekauften Lebensmittel ablaufen und uns zeigt, wie wir diese kreativ verwerten können. In unserem ersten Blogartikel haben wir beschrieben, wie wir die Kern-Schmerzpunkte unserer Zielgruppe mittels qualitativer Interviews identifiziert und anschließend eine Lösungsidee in Form einer Food-App entwickelt haben. In diesem Blogartikel wird es um die ersten Umsetzungsversuche eines Minimum Viable Products (MVP) und die daraus entstandenen Learnings gehen.

Foodicious is an app against food waste that reminds us when our groceries expire and shows us how we can use them creatively. In our first blog article, we described how we identified the core pain points of our target group using qualitative interviews and then developed a solution idea in the form of a food app. This blog article will be about the first attempts to implement a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and the lessons learned from them.
