SPARK.ed | Value Proposition Design
Join us Tuesday, March 24 for SPARK.ed!
You’ve done customer discovery, gathered a ton of data, and think you know them well, now what?
The next step is value proposition design to create compelling messaging that resonates, ensure you’re building something that really solves problems in the marketplace, and aligns your team on the patterns of value creation that are relevant to you.
In this interactive session, we’ll learn how to use the value proposition canvas to find fit between what you offer and what your customers want.
This is a HYBRID training session.
Join us in-person at SPARK Central or virtually via Zoom, whichever works best for you! If you're joining us in person, please arrive between 11:45 – 12:00 pm. to get settled in and enjoy lunch on us before the presentation begins at noon.
