Maximize Your Learning with Insightful Feedback From Industry Pros

Our challenge-based learning format allows you to immediately apply what you learned in real-world scenarios. Each Impact Certificate is made up of three challenges. You’ll work with other learners and experts in a global community to develop you competencies and network. In your Impact Certificate, you will solve these three challenges:
1
Customer Development
2
Product Development
3
Measuring, Learning, Iterating

Your curriculum

Each Certificate Program comprises three interrelated challenges, equipping you with unique competencies to conquer current and future hurdles.

Challenge 1
Customer Development
Address the critical issue of building something that customers truly want. Whether working with a real-world question from a practice partner, revisiting previous ideas, or leveraging an existing product, you will identify and interview customers to understand their jobs, pains, and gains.
Challenge 2
Product Development
Building on the principles of problem-solution fit, focus on using evidence to ensure customers care about specific jobs, pains, and gains. Choose a real-world question, revisit previous ideas, or leverage an existing product to identify and interview customers. The outcome includes a comprehensive customer development report.‍
Challenge 3
Measuring, Learning, Iterating
Focus on continuous measurement and learning about your prototype to iterate and improve the product even after the design process is officially "done." You will apply various methods to test your prototype, observe and track user behavior, analyze data, and derive insights for constant product improvement.‍
