Michael’s workshops and master classes are always memorable and rated as “excellent.” It’s a pleasure to work with him and the entire Senteo team.
We recently participated in an online training session with our colleagues from VTB about “Experiential Innovation”. During the training, Michael provided valuable insights into the economics of customer experiences, guided us in building Customer Journey Maps (CJMs), and highlighted the distinction between customer-centric and human-centric business models. He was exceptionally open, responsive, and generously shared his wealth of experience and knowledge. The training also gave me the opportunity to apply my understanding of behavioral economics and neurophysiology to real-life business cases. Once again, I want to express my gratitude to Michael and his entire team on behalf of myself and my colleagues. The experience was truly outstanding! 👍🔥
For someone like me, an IT specialist and tech enthusiast, Michael’s course was like a journey to Mars! It felt like discovering a whole new planet that I was thrilled to explore.
