BOOST
What makes a good idea? And how do you actually measure that? You’ll learn that by joining the PLNT BOOST program. The program helps you understand how to build, evaluate and pitch your own ideas. An inspiring 3-session workshop program where you will learn to work with Design Thinking tools to find the best possible version of a solution and learn how to pitch it!

What will you learn at PLNT BOOST?
The point during PLNT BOOST is to become aware of how and why you want to add value to whom. Once you understand how to explain these 3 elements, it will be much easier for you in the future to create and present ideas that are more impactful. And thus can be defined as a “good” idea!
BOOST consists of 3 sessions, with the final event later in the year, along with other BOOST participants. Each session lasts about 4 hours and always includes dinner and drinks for each participant (please tell us your dietary needs in advance).
The sessions:
Session 1. Problem mapping
Learn to get inside your potential client’s head and find out how to help him and prove that your idea will make him better and solve his problem.
Session 2. Creating Solution
Learn how to create value for the customer by designing small experiments and validating what you are going to offer them.
Session 3. Pitch training
Learn how to give a basic pitch and how to present yourself in a professional manner.
Where & When
The PLNT BOOST program lasts for 4 weeks. All workshops are held at PLNT Leiden.
