Here's what students say about this course:
"Great value for money!
Amir - you have done a wonderful job, introducing us to a structured process, that brings the elusive concept of innovation from 10,000 feet down to earth. Many thanks."
Lior Haber, Experienced VP at High-Tech firms
"Jam-packed with tools and templates
This course exceeded my expectations. I bought it hoping to scan through to get an idea or two... I watched every minute and will re-watch several lessons as I move forward with my own business development process.
Amir is engaging, his slides are visually interesting and easy to follow, his downloadable templates are excellent. I've paid for university continuing studies courses that did not deliver as much value as this course did -- and, at a much lower cost.
At a meta level, Amir's course in product and service innovation is also a course in best practices for teaching a Udemy course! I wish they were all this good."
Donna Barker, Chief MemWow! Creator
