Program

We start off with inspecting the impact of AI on product discovery and where it can be useful (and what its limitations are). Then we move on to how we can rapidly learn and gain insights, and turn those into ideas and hypotheses. These hypotheses need to be validated or rejected, which we will do by running experiments, and we end the day with running a class review of both our prototype and the insights we gained.

In this course, we share many practices and tools, but ultimately it is up to you to apply them.

• Rethinking Discovery in the Age of AI
• Mining Customer Insights: Discovery interviews, AI-driven data analysis, and generating insights
• Rapid Ideation: Using AI to generate and articulate ideas faster
• Experimentation & Hypothesis Testing
• Prototyping & Storytelling: Rapid prototyping with the help of (Gen)AI
• Validation & Decision-making
