Ken Sandy and a facilitator lead a cross-functional workshop beneath Propel Ventures astronaut-themed Building What Customers Value screens.

Space-themed fun with Ken Sandy this week, embedding the learnings of value stream ways of working with a fun simulation: cross-functional teams solving out of this world customer problems together, validating assumptions and ensuring we measure the right thing.

Copilot was the sparring partner, pushing back on assumptions and stress-testing metrics in a zero-gravity environment.

Reach out if you are keen to find out what it takes to solve the right problem for silver travellers, young partiers or adventurers going to the moon (or your target market..).
