MVP Series: Testing, Testing / Show & Tell

Have you ever had a great idea that seemed to go nowhere, but your family and friends all seemed to love it? Then, when you started to move your project along, the interest of others seemed to fade? Or maybe you started a business, and things were going great until you needed to grow. Perhaps you have the next best tech idea but no idea how to commercialize this fantastic innovation!

In this Minimum Validation series, we will look to develop and test the elements of a new idea that genuinely help get the idea to commercialization-ready innovation.

In this session, we will be designing tests for market fit. And finally, we design tests to help establish scalability opportunities.

To attend workshop 'Show & Tell', you must register for 'Testing, Testing'.

WORKSHOPS:

Testing, Testing (Thursday, December 1)

Have you ever wondered if there was a more straightforward, less costly way to develop your idea with validation?

This workshop will cover some of the most common testing methods and where you might use them. No lab coats are needed; these tests will be simple, like observing someone's behaviour and taking notes. In the end, you will better understand how you might test some of your ideas.

Show & Tell (Thursday, December 8)

We will review the results from the tests we have designed or run.

Our goal will be to check the current test design to assist in running your next set of tests. We will also review the results of your most recently run test to begin to break down the data and how we might apply it to what is next. Testing is something you are likely doing every day in your business, and this workshop will help you to tweak tests and apply results.

Workshop Dates:

• Thursday, December 1, 2022 (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM)
• Thursday, December 8, 2022 (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM)
