Our trainers have worked in a variety of product management roles across industries that span Financial Services, Entertainment, E-Commerce, Web Development, Healthcare, Consulting, and Telecommunications.

About the training experience

This is a virtual training class with a live instructor, delivered using video conference and digital collaboration tools. We have converted the in-person group exercises to online group exercises using a variety of tools. These exercises ensure you achieve the same learning objectives, while engaging and having fun with other participants.

The whole class is based on interactive exercises, simulations, and group discussions. The instructor explains key concepts and brings in real-life stories, and participants learn from applying the concepts and from sharing with each other. The instructor may share photos, diagrams, or single slides to bring home a point or share an experience. Besides this, there are no slides as the whole class is driven by exercises and group activities to accelerate the learning.
Watch what our students say.

We incorporate innovation games and liberating structures into the exercises. You will experience these useful frameworks that you can use spark innovation and collaboration with your team members. Because we facilitate the class using real everyday tools, you also get to learn how to use these to spark collaboration within your own team and organization.
