Bootcamp – Cycle 1

Do you recognize yourself in one of these scenarios?

• You are an entrepreneur with a great business concept but haven’t quite found a market fit
• You have a product that generates traction but you don’t know how to scale up
• Your product has found its market but your organization has grown to a point where updating it has become slow and painful

If so, this training program will provide you with some good insights and practices to address the issues and doubts you may be having about your product (or service) and how to scale it. We talk about maintaining this connection even as your company scales up and your product evolves. We see how to develop teamwork in the product development process and increase product profitability to scale more durably.

We have been studying, using and teaching that model for years, and have adapted it to digital product and tech-enabled services with success. This training camp consists of 2 stand-alone but complementary courses.

This bootcamp is aimed at leaders and executives of start-ups, companies, product teams and tech teams. Cycle 1 focuses on validating your next (or current) concept before any costly development begins.

The purpose of the program is to get off to a good start in lean product design and development, within a group that is also focusing on lean at the same time you are. Each person will practice in their own field. They’ll see how others are using the concepts in their environment, and share feedback from their own experiments with the group.

The quality of the group is a key element to favor exchange and progress fast. We carefully assemble people who will bring energy to the group so that everyone can learn faster together.

At the end of the course, you will join our Taktique alumni community so you can continue exchanging and learning together, in the field and in-person.

For learners based in France, this course is certified by Qualiopi: up to 60% of the course can be financed.
