The cycles course was a massively beneficial opportunity. The is a testament to the
quality of teaching that is done by Bryan and the mentors, and the approach that is taken
by the program. Not only do we learn the principles of innovation, but also have the
opportunity to apply them to a real worth situation and benefit a company is an invalua-
ble experience. This program pushed what I thought capable in such a short time frame,
fostering skills in communication with people from all over the world. Along with them,
we accomplished a great deal and learnt important skills that will definitely be utilized in
the future. Many thanks to those who created the scheme, namely Bryan (fantastic and
inspiring teacher). It was a great and invaluable experience.

I had the privilege of participating in the CYCLES Remote Management Certification
program and to say I got more than I bargained for is an understatement. Bryan and his
team have put together a comprehensive and highly informative program that gives you
tools for success in business growth, development and innovation. Teaching is a skill and
an art; Bryan has clearly mastered it. The lessons are concise, clear, easy to follow and
the activities ensure that you as the learner have a firm grasp and understanding for the
concepts involved. His style of teaching is calm, entertaining, engaging and he keeps
your attention throughout. If I had to attend a training session, I would choose Bryan no
doubt! This is especially impressive because the course was done virtually. While in the
program, I was pushed and challenged in every way possible and as result, I not only
feel equipped and capable, I know practically I can apply the concepts in a meaningful
way which is great for your confidence as a student and a professional. The transition
from learning a concept to practical real-life business application is seamless and even
when you as student feel you haven’t grasped it, the team is there to offer support and
guidance. There is no hand holding; the support offered allows you to workout it
yourself and with your team. The feedback and “speed dating” sessions were some of
my most enjoyable moments because we got to meet people from all over the world
while making sure that we really bring about solutions that speak to the challenges at
hand and are consumer-centric Bryan and his team’s contribution to education in 2020 is
invaluable. We walked into the program from all walks of life and walked out as
innovators. I cannot thank him, his team and the mentors on board enough. I highly
recommend this program to everyone.

It was a pleasure to be part of the CYCLES Remote Innovation Program. I will always
remember the ABCs and now, I see the innovation is a process, not a unique gift. Even I
tried to apply ABCs in my recent idol-making of Ganesha which resulted in amazing
output. The program was intensive for 5 days with a lot of work which gave the real
experience of sprint in the company. Moreover, it was a great experience to work in a
diversified team, knowing each other’s perspective and style of working.

Bryan, his team, and his Remote Innovation program content and learnings exceeded my
expectations. The Pre-Course work, the daily content, and the lectures allowed me to
learn things in 5 days that I didn't think was possible. Apart from the course content, I
learned new tools that I still use daily outside of the program. Working with people from
different nationalities was a gamechanger for me. It allowed me to get different insights
and thinking from a global perspective. We are often stuck in our immediate business
environment, working with students from different countries, gave me their perspective
and insight into how things are done in other countries. The amount of knowledge that
was shared in the teams was just exciting, finding different solutions for the same
problems. The big thing that was really outstanding was the energy in the "room" the
course was done remotely but it was as if we were one happy family all working towards
a mutual goal. Highly recommend for students looking to get an Industry Accepted
Certification as well as companies that need an outside perspective on how they can
innovate from a certified Remote Innovation professional.

If you are looking to demystify just what innovation actually means and what are the
margins between success and failure, then Bryan's your man. Under his guidance, the
first iteration of the CYCLES Remote Innovation program, which I attended, was a
definite success - from the collaboration with international students to the interactions
with mentors, the entire package was masterfully assembled and delivered. In particular,
Bryan's delivery of content centered around simplifying the complex, dispelling many of
the myths in circulation and not shying away from the reality which I found to be very
sobering - it is so easy to take for granted just how difficult it can be to innovate whether
it be in an established company or a startup. In addition, his knowledge on this subject
matter is unparalleled, stemming from his many years of experience which inevitably
comes through in his adept responses to any relevant questions. I highly recommend
attending any of his courses or seminars - you definitely will walk out with greater
clarity in your thoughts.

Working with Bryan was a great experience for me. The way in which he connects with
his audience is remarkable. I didn't feel even a bit bored while attending his program
which is an unusual thing if you are sitting on a virtual screen for a long time. I got to
learn a lot about business and innovation from him. I couldn't imagine that I could learn
this much in a span of 5 days. It was all because of him and his team. He's a great mentor
and a person with a lot of humor (that's hard to find these days).

I attended the 5-day CYCLES Remote Innovation Certification Program this summer led
by Mr. Bryan Cassady. It was a great learning experience while I worked with people
from different time zones. The mentors were awesome, and I'll never forget to apply the
ABCs of innovation before starting a task. It was a truly innovative remote initiative
which speaks for itself. Work never stopped in this fun and challenging course.

The Remote Innovation Certification Program brought by Bryan Cassady helped me see
project building from another perspective. Successful businesses do not necessarily start
with great ideas, they start with a great understanding of the goal and a constant nurtur-
ing of ideas. I recommend this program for all those who want to learn about innovation,
deliver valuable work with expert feedbacks and last but not least, get out of your
comfort zone by working with people from all around the globe.

This is a course where we align and develop a business idea, test it, and change it until
it reaches a version of value for our target client. I loved working with other internation-
al students from the entire world. I won't forget the statement "the biggest difference
between winners and losers is that smart winners make good, even mediocre, ideas
great over 5 days". The mentors were great and the guidance they gave helped us add
value to our projects. So, I highly recommend that you participate on CYCLES Remote
Innovation Certification Program. It's such a nice experience.

The remote innovation program with Bryan Cassady and many other talented people
from all over the world taught me new ways of innovation. As a leisure student I was
already familiar with different ways to break the box, but this program broadened my
horizon even further. I know that I'll be able to use the theories in my studies as well as
workspace in the future.

For the 5-day CYCLES remote Innovation program, Bryan put his knowledge to work in
designing a brilliant, insightful and learning-intensive product design experience. I feel
that my ability to think critically, innovate, and work with others has genuinely improved
over the course of those 5 days. It was the first time that program had been rolled out in
its 5-day format, yet nothing felt out of place, or broken, or redundant, speaking to
Bryan's exceeding program design and management capabilities.

During the 5-day Cycles Innovation program I was positively surprised by the enthusi-
asm of the team. I already had some experience with online lectures, and it is usually
difficult to maintain attention and enthusiasm compared to physical lectures. However,
Bryan made it possible thanks to the interactive and enthusiastic way of teaching. The
lessons felt personal as you could tell he enjoyed teaching us. Having clear experience in
his field, he was able to provide some good examples, which together with our case study
resulted in an interesting program.

I am lucky to have had the chance to enjoy a course by Bryan. As a teacher, Bryan
created a fun and challenging five-day remote innovation course. I really did learn more
than I thought was possible. In only five days we not only received the necessary
knowledge about the ABCs of innovation but were also asked to apply them. For me
personally, I learned the most during phase C - Communicate/Check. In an international-
ly diverse group, we were able to exchange our thoughts and were then asked to bring
them together to create an innovation. I really loved the international collaboration and
the engaging and challenging discussions to create a unique and also viable innovation.
