Pretotyping Methodology To Avoid Business Failure With Alberto Savoia

Alberto Savoia is the former Innovation Agitator and Engineering Director at Google, and Innovation Lecturer at Stanford. Founder of Pretotype Labs. He is also the author of a book that I loved, which is “The Right It: why so many fail and how to make sure yours succeed.”

I took the chance to ask Alberto a few questions, and he was very kind to answer them all!
