I will spread the message - I am sure more groups will come back to you for this workshop."

"... classic presentation on pretotyping :-) ... They loved this! They all left with a ton of ideas on how to further innovation back home...."
"Alberto, I wanted to say that I have been hearing about you for a while now, and you 150% lived up to the hype! I emailed one of the attendees to see what their reactions were and they felt the thoughts you shared were FABULOUS. Literally he wrote it in all caps! They absolutely needed to hear your [pretotyping] message as it is exactly the opposite of how they work." "Alberto, We met in January at Google MTV Campus while you were giving presentation about Pretotyping to C-Level delegates participating in Executive Summit; I was in the room with them charmed and empowered with your speech :-) Not sure if this reached you but actually your presentation was the highest rated amongst all!" |
"... changed the way I think about products ..."
"Thank *you* Alberto! Everyone I spoke with really enjoyed your ideas and tactics on finding "the right it". We had a lot of active discussion on pretotyping later in the day, so I'd definitely say you were successful in seeding a great new concept amongst the team."
"My team uses [pretotyping] extensively. It has had a big impact on our ability to fail fast and execute faster." "[Pretotyping] changed the way I think about products." "Alberto was the hit of our event. His presentation on Pretotyping was the talk of the summit afterwards. He was a fantastic speaker, went above and beyond what we were hoping for and I've recommended him to anyone with a big client meeting in need of someone who exemplifies the spirit of innovation here at Google. He inspired the clients and all of us as well - he really made the summit a success." |
"... the most interesting presentation in our two-week US technology tour ..."
"... your presentation yesterday was fabulous! The entire room was buzzing afterwards and throughout dinner. We cannot thank you enough for sharing your "pretotyping manifesto" with our execs and their key clients."
"Google's pretotyping by Alberto was the most interesting presentation on our two-week US technology tour." "Another crazy successful presentation by Alberto for our summit. We closed the summit's first day with Alberto knowing that he would be inspirational and get the roomful of C-Level executives and their top clients excited about the summit and set the right tone for the next day. Several clients approached us with the idea of Alberto giving them his Innovation Workshop because of his presentation." |
"... probably the best lecture I have sat in on in my four years at Stanford."
"Wow!! The [Stanford] students loved you, Alberto! They all said that you are an amazing teacher, and that they learned a tremendous amount. Their presentations yesterday demonstrated that they understood pretotyping, as they developed pretotypes for all their ideas!! Thanks again and again!"
"I wanted to reach out to you and say that your lecture for our Engineering Innovation class at the d.school was probably the best lecture I have sat in on in my four years at Stanford. I was very intrigued and agreed thoroughly with the concept of pretotyping." "Having you in class today was phenomenal! Not only is pretotyping incredibly useful and implementable, but your energy and passion was contagious!" |

"... content is meaty, pinpoint focused and entirely actionable ..."
"His enthusiasm for innovation and teaching what he has learned to clients leads to wonderful sessions in clients events, and I can't imagine anyone who could better represent innovation at Google."
"Alberto a sincere thank you again for joining us on Tuesday and kicking off a memorable executive summit. The entire team raved about your session and are eager to walk their teams through your presentation this week! ... I am so thrilled to have met you. You really are a legend and I can see why. I hope to work with you again in the future. You are truly inspiring." "Alberto's content is meaty, pinpoint focused, and entirely actionable. His presentation is highly credible, funny, personable, and quite expert overall ... a tremendous ambassador for Google." "O my gosh Alberto I can't even tell you how much they raved about you. Consider pretotyping a part of their every day vocabulary. I'm so so glad you were there to kick off this mtg. You energized the room, you're talking right up their alley, and they are so pumped to explore the concept further with all of their ideas. I think it was the perfect framework for them to start thinking about as they're working on those ideas." "I’m completely out of words for your Pretotyping manifesto! It has been the single most interesting video in my whole life. Now I fully understand the look, and the underlying purpose, of the [Stanford] d.school prototyping rooms (or should I say pretotyping rooms). A gigantic thank you and my deepest gratitude for putting it together and sharing." "The second theme in the themepark (i.e., Google) was innovation. And here we had Google Cabaret from The Lion, oops The Innovator King (i.e., Alberto Savoia) ... Had us eating out of his hand. Singing along in the aisles. If we weren't in California I think the entire crew would have been on their seats swaying with their lighters above their heads. And like the Lion King you can only purr at the content. The Innovator King reigned supreme." "Thanks so much for the great session today. The client group loved it, and it was definitely the highlight of the event." "I found the [pretotyping] presentation by Alberto Savoia to be fascinating!” "Incredible keynote talk [on pretotyping] absolutely shredding traditional ... and arguing that the important thing is getting [the right it], not implementing [the wrong it] correctly to spec." Alberto, I wanted to take a moment to send you a quick thank you for taking the time to present to my team. The group that attended your session came out raving. I think they were all very inspired. They actually spent their break sharing your materials with the broader group!" "A HUGE thank you for hosting us today and for your wonderful presentations. The group was really jazzed about the morning and had an amazing experience. They learned a lot and talking about innovation at Google exceeded their expectations. A number of them approached us at the end of the day thanking us for the quality of the experience." |
