FAQs
- Who is this for?
We have found that people in the roles of product managers, designers, researchers, and marketers are immediately able to apply these insights to their day-to-day jobs. They get value out of it both in terms of business outcomes as well as career advancement. People working on products or services that positively impact their customers’ well-being have the best shot at being accepted (i.e., health tech, fintech, edtech, productivity software).
Our courses are for people who are curious about human psychology and decision making. They are for people who want to know what drives their customers to act (or not act). It’s for people who question their intuition and are constantly seeking insights about what actually works.
