The trainingDiscover what matters.
Discover what matters.
Before you build.
Modern product development takes more than efficient delivery. Teams need a shared way to understand problems, explore possibilities and test their assumptions before investing in a solution.
This hands-on training brings the mindset, methods and practical tools together. You’ll work through a discovery cycle with other participants and connect what you learn to the realities of your own organization.
Built on the Discovery School approach developed at OTTO, with real-world practice at the centre.

Is there anything I should know before joining?
The course focuses on digital products and practical application. It is less suited to physical-product development or an executive-level strategy overview. The public training is in English, and active collaboration is central to the experience. For an in-house team, we can discuss English or German delivery.
How we learnA whole discovery cycle.
A whole discovery cycle.
Hands-on, together.
Short inputs give you the context. Practical work, conversation and reflection help you turn it into a skill. This is live learning, with room for your questions.
01Explore the problem
Frame the challenge, align on what you need to learn and explore the user perspective. Make assumptions visible before choosing a solution.
02Create and make it tangible
Generate alternative ideas, work together on a concept and create a low-fidelity prototype that helps you learn.
03Validate and move forward
Plan a useful test, interpret feedback and decide what to do next. Reflect on how to bring the approach into your organization.
01 / Space for your growth
Learn with each other.
A group of up to 18 participants and two trainers creates space for practical exchange, questions and different perspectives.
02 / Useful beyond the session
Make it work in reality.
We connect methods with actual organizational challenges, so your learning can travel back into your everyday work.
03 / A balance of doing and thinking
Practise, then reflect.
Work through the process with enough theory to understand why each step matters and enough practice to experience it.
