October 10th, 17.00-19.30: How to use design thinking? (Design thinking and prototyping)
Venue: room SOC-414, TalTech School of Business and Governance (address: Akadeemia tee 3,19086 Tallinn)
Workshop by: Helen Kokk
How to focus on what matters? In building products and services, companies tend to get overwhelmed by the complexity of running a business. They fail to improve critical parts of their service, run out of resources or will be outrun by their competitors.
User-centered development and design thinking are methods to find out what companies should focus on and how to find out what their customers appreciate. In the workshop, we will examine the tools used in the design process and feature prioritization that will help you to focus on delivering value, not just building stuff.

October 31st, 17.00-19.30: The basics of marketing and sales.
Venue: TBC
Workshop by: Mari Suviste
What is marketing and how to be good at it?
At this workshop, you will learn who is your customer, how to reach your customer and how to sell your service & product. During the workshop, we’ll take a look at the vast landscape of paid and free marketing channels that are available for a start-up to scale its business. With limited resources in terms of both budget and people, we’ll try and figure out what marketing strategy fits your product the best and how to focus on getting traction as quickly as possible.
Marketing without a strategy is like a blind dragon – it can breathe fire and cause destruction (usually to your budget) but without purpose.
