From idea to product. From product to opportunity.

The workshop
What you'll work on.
01
Find the problem
Understand users, problems, context and opportunity.
02
Shape the product
Turn an idea into a clear product concept and define who it is for.
03
Build the MVP
Decide what matters now, create a simple prototype and make the idea tangible.

Test the idea
Get feedback, challenge assumptions and determine what should happen next.
By the end, you should have
- A clearly defined problem or opportunity
- A target user
- A product concept
- A basic MVP or prototype
- A validation plan
- A clearer path toward further development
