Some examples of programs we can offer:

Through a customized experience, we will work with you to take our core curriculum and design a program to fit your community and team's needs. Here are some of the topics we can customize for your workshop.

• Effective Communication: The Napkin Drawing exercise gets everyone up and around the room, markers in hand!
• Value Proposition: This brainstorm guides participants in placing users at the heart of their value statement.
• Audience Understanding: Deeply understanding audience needs is the key to any good sustainability strategy. We’ll show you tools to use to go beyond assumptions to knowing what makes your users tick.
• Market Landscape: You are not alone! This interactive exercise helps teams think strategically about the space they operate in: what problem is your science gateway solving for users? How does your science gateway compare to others offering different options? 
• Budgeting for Sustainability: Grant budgets are one thing, but science gateways moving past start-up have to consider ongoing operations differently.  Our instructors will show you how to use activity-based budgeting to develop an all-in budget for your project.
• Finding your Funding Model: The trendiest revenue model is not always your best bet. This guided brainstorming will introduce a new way of thinking about which models might be the best fit for your science gateway. 
• User Experience: This interactive session shares a quick but very effective way to get started with some UX fundamentals today.
