  • I was really impressed with the workshop. The information provided to set the context was really clear and provided a good basis for the learning. The support and instructions on how to develop the innovation canvas and the hypothesis was really useful and fascinating to actually do. We didn't know what to expect at the beginning of the day, but we all felt we had had a very valuable experience.
