Over the past three years, we've conducted hundreds of workshops, seminars and lectures on pretotyping. The feedback has been consistently excellent.
Below are some of the quotes from workshop/talks/lecture attendees.
If you would like to schedule or attend a workshop, please contact us.
FEEDBACK:
"Your workshop made me take a step back and rethink our approach to innovation - the time was invaluable!"
"My team uses [pretotyping] extensively. It has had a big impact on our ability to fail fast and execute faster."
"Alberto's presentation made a real difference in how we all think about innovation ... the positive impact has been tremendous."
"Your seminar on Pretotyping at the Stanford Graduate School of Business was nothing short of inspirational. Our Stanford GSB students are raving about your presentation."
"We invited Leonardo Zangrando (of Pretotype.co.uk) to speak about Pretotyping to our global creative team. It was a fascinating session appreciated by the whole group. The session whilst theoretical has huge 'take away' value and was highly practical for our business. I personally found the subject matter the perfect blend of academic and practical. Leonardo gave life to Pretotyping in a charismatic and humorous way. The creative team as a whole from across the world rated the session highly in their feedback."
Thank you again for your very inspiring presentation last Friday. Words such as "wow" and "that man is a god" were heard throughout the day so you clearly impressed them :-). It's always wonderful to have you open a client summit as your points are so powerful that in the first hour they walk away with real new knowledge and inspiration."
"Your pretotyping workshop has honestly been a pivotal hour in my career because it has had practical implications, not just theoretical."
"To this day, the VPs who were at your pretotyping presentation keep referring to your talk! They were transformed."
"Alberto is simply a genius to hear from and has an enjoyable personality to deliver his ideas ... my CFO said, the whole trip was worth it just for his section alone."
"Alberto! Thank you for your fantastic presentation delivered during our Executive Summit. Our guests loved it!"
"... the [pretotyping] presentation is brilliant! It should be mandatory watching at research institutes."
"Your overview of Pretotyping and your demo of Androgen were both awesome! It is no exaggeration to tell you this was the highlight of the week's visits."
"... classic presentation on pretotyping :-) ... They loved this! They all left with a ton of ideas on how to further innovation back home...."
"Alberto, I wanted to say that I have been hearing about you for a while now, and you 150% lived up to the hype! I emailed one of the attendees to see what their reactions were and they felt the thoughts you shared were FABULOUS. Literally he wrote it in all caps! They absolutely needed to hear your [pretotyping] message as it is exactly the opposite of how they work."
"My team uses [pretotyping] extensively. It has had a big impact on our ability to fail fast and execute faster."
"[Pretotyping] changed the way I think about products."
"Alberto was the hit of our event. His presentation on Pretotyping was the talk of the summit afterwards. He was afantastic speaker, went above and beyond what we were hoping for and I've recommended him to anyone with a big client meeting in need of someone who exemplifies the spirit of innovation here at Google. He inspired the clients and all of us as well - he really made the summit a success."
"... your presentation yesterday was fabulous! The entire room was buzzing afterwards and throughout dinner. We cannot thank you enough for sharing your "pretotyping manifesto" with our execs and their key clients."
"Google's pretotyping by Alberto was the most interesting presentation on our two-week US technology tour."
"Another crazy successful presentation by Alberto for our summit. We closed the summit's first day with Alberto knowing that he would be inspirational and get the roomful of C-Level executives and their top clients excited about the summit and set the right tone for the next day. Several clients approached us with the idea of Alberto giving them his Innovation Workshop because of his presentation."
"O my gosh Alberto I can't even tell you how much they raved about you. Consider pretotyping a part of their every day vocabulary. I'm so so glad you were there to kick off this mtg. You energized the room, you're talking right up their alley, and they are so pumped to explore the concept further with all of their ideas. I think it was the perfect framework for them to start thinking about as they're working on those ideas."
"Alberto is the first person we think to approach whenever there there is a request to talk about innovation at Googlein one of our summits."
"His enthusiasm for innovation and teaching what he has learned to clients leads to wonderful sessions in clients events, and I can't imagine anyone who could better represent innovation at Google."
"Alberto's content is meaty, pinpoint focused, and entirely actionable. His presentation is highly credible, funny, personable, and quite expert overall ... a tremendous ambassador for Google."
"The second theme in the themepark (i.e., Google) was innovation. And here we had Google Cabaret from The Lion, oops The Innovator King (i.e., Alberto Savoia) ... Had us eating out of his hand. Singing along in the aisles. If we weren't in California I think the entire crew would have been on their seats swaying with their lighters above their heads. And like the Lion King you can only purr at the content. The Innovator King reigned supreme."
"Thanks so much for the great session today. The client group loved it, and it was definitely a highlight of the event."
"I found the [pretotyping] presentation by Alberto Savoia to be fascinating!”
"Incredible keynote talk [on pretotyping] absolutely shredding traditional ... and arguing that the important thing is getting [the right it], not implementing [the wrong it] correctly to spec."
Alberto, I wanted to take a moment to send you a quick thank you for taking the time to present to my team. The group thatattended your session came out raving. I think they were all very inspired. They actually spent their break sharing your materials with the broader group!"
"[pretotyping] might just save you months - if not years - of disappointment."
"A HUGE thank you for hosting us today and for your wonderful presentations. The group was really jazzed about the morning and had an amazing experience. They learned a lot and talking about innovation at Google exceeded their expectations. A number of them approached us at the end of the day thanking us for the quality of the experience."
"Dear Alberto,
I just wanted to say that I am a big fan of yours. Pretotyping + Agile software development (for me) is key to accelerating products to the market. (I did a pretotyping exercise of 'building your mobile app' at an innovation workshop last summer and something like half of the class ended up developing apps that are available for download now.)"
