Designed by Enthiosys, a leading provider of agile product management consulting services, Innovation Games are serious games that help you understand how your customers think and what they value. This course will provide you with the tools to plan, play, and process the results of the games. You&#8217;ll also receive comprehensive notes, worksheets, templates, and books to help you bring your new experiences into active practice on your own projects.

In a recent Forrester report, analysts TJ Keitt and Tom Grant explain:

    Serious gaming&#8230; can circumvent many of the traditional problems with product requirements, including collecting sufficient information across customers, partners, and internal stakeholders to make product decisions. Not only are the games relatively lightweight exercises, but they also use a lighter touch to resolve many debates over product decisions.

Who Should Attend?

    * Product managers and directors of product management
    * Interaction designers and digital product professionals
    * Product marketing managers
    * Members of the professional services organization
    * Any member of the company who has direct customer collaboration
