This certification program, that has been designed for individuals involved in managing or sponsoring the innovation process in any size organization, explores different forms of innovation by breaking free from the confines of products and channels to design offerings based on the desired outcomes sought by customers. Creating a colossal shift from "What a customer buys" to "What value is created for the customer" changes the framing for innovation focused on solutions and the quality of the relationships that emerge while helping customers to achieve their desired outcomes.

As well, Michael has authored dozens of educational courses in the areas of strategy, digital and business model transformation, leadership, customer experience, corporate culture development, gamification, customer relationship management (CRM), and others with over 30,000 participants since 2004.
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! 👍🔥
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.
