Prototyping School | For Business

DEAR INNOVATORS,

What crazy and exciting times we live in.

Demos and mock ups of new products, a website to showcase the new offering, an emotional movie to get a go sign from your bosses.
Things that required us to ask the help of internal or external designers and engineers are now becoming possible to make ourselves.
After years of designing new products and services for innovating companies, IDEO can say with confidence that things move exponentially faster when the project team can prototype things themselves.
It’s time for each of us to　start executing ideas.

PROGRAM TIMELINE

Unlike the student program, Prototyping School for Business is a custom made program for each organization. The standard program is 6 weeks, consisting of 3 weeks of prototyping modules of your choice and 3 weeks of individual project mentoring, but we are highly flexible to cater to your needs as much as possible.

FAQ

Can we mix in people from multiple divisions and teams?

Absolutely. As long as it's within the 30 people capacity, there is no problem in participating from multiple divisions or teams.

Is this a program for engineers and designers?

No, quite the contrary. This program aims to empower people who do not practice design or engineering on a day to day basis by providing them the techniques of modern, no-code prototyping.

Can we participate in this program online?

We plan to offer online classes once we start to get the hang of it, but until then we will not be offering online participation options.
