Learn how to make better product and business decisions with actionable data the business understands!
“Thank you for the amount of 1:1 time the facilitators were willing to spend with participants. It was great to observe another team interact with the facilitators and to enable peer-to-peer learning.”
Program Overview
Gain confidence that you’re running the right kind of tests in this five-week series of live sessions and online exercises. Refine your innovation experiment process to reduce bias, uncover actionable results, and define clear next steps.
Participants meet with their coach once a week for 90 minutes in an online, interactive session alongside their peers. Between each meetup, you’ll complete up to three hours of self-study with our online material and activities to help you develop your project, including video lectures, templates, an interactive whiteboard, and interactive games. Coaches are available for feedback between the life sessions. We encourage participants to use their real startup/innovation project.
Better Experiments for Innovators – 5 Week Program
Week 1 - Kickoff
Get to know your instructors and your peers! We’ll do some short icebreakers and then go through a live exercise to understand the challenges of running better experiments that will help you test your business ideas.
Week 2 - Risk Prioritization
This workshop covers how to brainstorm and prioritize risks with your teams, and clarifies why certain risks are the right thing to focus on at certain stages of a project.
Week 3 - S.I.M.P.L.E. Experiment Design
This workshop covers how to brainstorm and prioritize risks with your teams, and clarifies why certain risks are the right thing to focus on at certain stages of a project.
Week 4 - Experiment Types: The Real Startup Book
After identifying a clear business question, we need to identify the right method to gather the data that will answer that question. This workshop helps navigate the dozens of experiment and research methods to find the quickest answers to your business questions.
Week 5 - S.M.A.R.T. Experiment Design
The Learn S.M.A.R.T. template introduces additional checks on experiments to avoid cognitive biases that can send teams down the wrong path and derail an innovation project. Eliminate risks by designing smart experiments and avoiding typical pitfalls of experiment design.
