Overview
What you'll learn
You work through a guided set of exercises on your own business, from mapping the work to running a one-week experiment. You finish with real artifacts, not notes.
- A kickoff commitment and a clear picture of where your week goes
- An ops map or a customer and employee journey map
- Problem cards with a scorecard
- A selected idea with a backup
- A built prototype and a written test card
- A decision: kill, tweak or make it standard
Audience
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Learners who would rather do than watch
- Owners and teams who want a structured set of exercises on their real work
- Anyone taking an Obra Learning course who wants a guided practice path
Not the right fit for
- People looking for a quiz-and-certificate course
- Anyone who wants theory without applying it
