This is a pre-recorded webinar session made into a course.

The content within this course is made prior to the creation of MRANTI.

Why should You take this course?

“ Most disasters I've worked with entered the market with a bad product and died. The length of time they took to die depended on the amount of money they had. A better approach is to proceed by experimentation and validation: Testing ideas, solutions and products at every stage to make sure that you are building what the market wants and needs.”

In this session, Denis will introduce some of the frameworks and mindsets he uses - and these will help you to do more, faster, cheaper - and get it done before you get to the end of your runway!



At the end of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Understand why should you test your ideas, solutions and products

  2. Discover what to test to build what the market wants

  3. Understand how to carry out your test
