We are teaching business leaders and change agents how to prototype their way to viable solutions. In this context, solutions aren’t product solutions, but rather internal programs and processes that effect change within the organization.

One of the primary benefits of working in a product trio is we reduce the hand-offs between functional roles. It’s no wonder we end up with software that doesn’t work for our customers. Good discovery establishes a direct communication line between the team who is building the product and the customer. Tweet This.
