Rapid Learning Cycles
Global Project Leader Certification Workshop
LPPDE Workshop
29-30 April 2026 - Helsinki, Finland
Join a Two-Day, In-Person Rapid Learning Cycles Global Project Leader Certification workshop
This experience will prepare you to run a small to medium sized team using Rapid Learning Cycles in the early phases of product development.
You will learn:
- Why and how Rapid Learning Cycles is a proven way to remove rework loops, revisited decisions and late design changes to accelerate time-to-market for physical products.
- How the elements of the framework fit together to build team alignment, engage stakeholders and decision makers, focus the team on its most important work, and pull real-time knowledge capture and sharing.
- The steps of the Kickoff Event that establishes Rapid Learning Cycles for a project team, from the Core Hypothesis to the Learning Cycles Plan.
- How to run Learning Cycle and Integration Events so that they drive better decision making.
- How to integrate execution activities into the Learning Plan without losing the team’s focus on building knowledge first.

If your company requires an invoice prior to payment, we can prepare one but we will not hold space until payment has been received. The invoice will be issued "Due Upon Receipt."
You may choose to convert the currency in your shopping cart; for most companies, you are better off keeping the registration fees in Euros.
Euro: All prices quoted ex-VAT; valid company VAT number required for registration. We do not sell to individual consumers in the EU or anywhere else where that creates additional tax liability for us.
