Here's how to decide the best workshop to begin your business's New Product Blueprinting training
All Blueprinting training begins with a kickoff workshop. These are described in more detail at www.BlueprintingTraining.com, with two main options:
- Public Virtual Workshop: Also known as the "Team" plan, you send one project team at a time to one of our public workshops (2 back-to-back half-days) that we host twice monthly via Zoom. (See calendar at www.Blueprintingworkshop.com.)
- Private In-Person Workshop: In this "Business" plan, we come to you--anywhere in the world--and conduct an in-person workshop (2 back-to-back full days) for just your company.
What's the SAME for Public Virtual and Private In-Person workshops?
- Learner Materials: The per-person materials and cost are the same ($1495) and include:
- Lifetime access to the Blueprinting Center (user dashboard, e-learning, BlueTools, BlueHelp articles, certification program)
- First year subscription to Blueprinter software, where all project work is done. (After the first year, users can opt to renew at $39/mo, billed annually.)
- Workshop Role-playing: While the Private In-Person workshop covers more material and exercises, both cover the fundamentals and include extensive interview role-playing practice.
- Post-Workshop Coaching: If teams are comprised of new learners, we recommend in-team coaching, where an AIM coach "joins" each project team for their post-workshop team meetings. Cost is $4200 for up to 12 hours of coaching and 12 months.
What are the advantages of PUBLIC VIRTUAL workshops?
- Cost: This is our lowest cost option at $1495/person (plus any post-workshop team coaching). To cover the costs of dedicated private training, there is an added charge for Private workshops ($9000 for Private Virtual and $18,000 for Private In-Person).
- Flexibility: You can send just one team at a time. Also, if you've already trained many in your company, you can use this to easily "catch-up" new hires.
What are the advantages of PRIVATE IN-PERSON workshops?
- Kickoff Growth Diagnostic: Prior to your workshop, attendees complete our B2B Growth Diagnostic, which benchmarks your business against others (n>5000) on 24 growth drivers. This allows customization of the workshop to your needs.
- Powerful AI Tools: Learners receive a full-year subscription to www.SalesPrep.com, a powerful tool to practice new probing skills anytime with an AI Guide... and much more.
- Expanded content: Because the private workshop runs for 2 full days (not 2 half-days), learners receive more content... and especially, more practice time.
- Leadership engagement: Your leaders can kick off the workshop, sending a strong signal to learners that this IS important.
- Executive Dashboard: At no extra cost, your business leaders have access to an Executive Dashboard where they monitor the entire portfolio of Blueprinting projects, and see how learners are progressing with e-learning, interviews, certification, etc.
- Confidential discussions: We sign your non-disclosure agreement prior to the workshop, allowing your learners to ask about their specific situations.
- Learner participation: It's easier to ensure learners are actively engaged with in-person sessions than virtual workshops (with their constant temptation to check email, etc.)
- Friendly competition: When several project teams are launched at the same time from the same workshop, no team wants to "fall behind" the others.
