All of our educational programs follow a simple but very effective approach designed together with an organizational psychologist to improve the retention of concepts and stimulate application of the methodology to real world business needs. All programs are structured with the following four components:
Learn — understand the theory and mechanics behind each aspect of the methodology
Do — apply the different aspects of the methodology during exercises and work groups
See — observe real world applications, examples and case studies related to each aspect of the methodology
Extend — identify and support the possibilities for real-world applications of the methodology specific to current business needs and goals
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. Everything was fresh and incredibly interesting. And the best part? Thanks to Michel, complex concepts were explained in a simple language that I could easily grasp. The assignments were designed in a way that pushed me to come up with original ideas. I highly recommend it to everyone!

In an amazing way, he combines the depth of the subject with an easy delivery of complex materials. Employees from different levels participated in the online training “Experiential Innovation” for VTB Bank, and here are the key points highlighted by the participants:
1. Convenience and comfort of conducting the training over Zoom and utilizing Miro boards.
2. The training content. The connection between the product, the customer, long-term relationships, and creating innovative solutions to transition from a product-centric approach to a relationship-centric one is crucial and applicable to any innovation.
3. The chat support and participant engagement before the training were organized in a very natural and gentle manner.
4. The outcome of the training resulted in specific sets of innovative solutions in six different areas. This means that we could immediately put into practice what we worked on during the training. The knowledge gained is highly practical, which is essential for my company.
5. Michael:) I cannot fail to mention the charisma and vast experience of our trainer, Michael. It was extremely valuable that he shared his experience from different organizations.
In summary: I wholeheartedly recommend Senteo’s training sessions and plan to explore their other offerings as well.
#Senteo and #MichaelRuckman – each presentation reveals a new side of the CX approach.

Great ideas and concepts for understanding the role of customer experience and customer relationship.

We took the UX Redesign course in an online format. Everything was organized excellently, with convenient tools for collaborative work. We didn’t notice any difference compared to in-person training. The team did a great job.

After three days of training, the amount of knowledge acquired exceeded expectations. I want to specifically highlight the atmosphere, which inspires you to strive for new achievements! Thank you.
