I took a Product Innovation class by Spark Engine and it was one of the best trainings I ever took because this course not only provides a 3 days training session but also includes 6 weeks of coaching and mentoring while we were working on real life product ideas and projets. This is a must have training for all involved into Product Development, IT etc.!

I signed up for the CPIP class to better understand the problem space, as well as ideate solutions to delight my customers. The class incorporated both training and hands-on work with the goal of developing a real-life product idea, which is really, really cool.

Well organized and executed, focused training followed by coaching as you follow your own journey to innovation. I learned how to really understand the problem before jumping into solutioning, gain insights from my customers, define the real value and vision, and craft a product journey and go to market strategy to deliver and validate outcomes. I am already applying the frameworks and seeing results in everyday situations.

Valerio and Zeina have synthesized decades of product development experience into a 6 week boot camp that is unlike anything you will find elsewhere. I learned ways of falling in love with the problem space to identify zones of value for our customers, how little is actually necessary for an MVP, and how to prioritize the highest value features and then test our assumptions with accurate metrics.
