Prerequisites
Before starting the Idea to Product (i2p) Program, we recommend participants to complete the tutorials below.
Each course provides essential technical and organizational skills that directly strengthen the innovation process.
By mastering these tools, participants will be better prepared to move confidently from Idea → Product → Innovation.
Notion Tutorial – Full Course for Beginners [2025]
Notion is far more than a note-taking app—it is a full digital workspace where innovators can centralize their
projects, knowledge bases, and workflows. Within the i2p framework, Notion becomes a crucial hub for recording
ideas, mapping out product roadmaps, and documenting the iterative progress of innovation.
Participants will learn to create structured databases to track research findings, patent searches, and competitor
benchmarks, while dashboards can be built to visualize progress and responsibilities. These skills ensure that
teams have a transparent, up-to-date overview of the innovation pipeline at all times.
For i2p, mastering Notion directly supports collaboration, accountability, and efficiency. It eliminates scattered
documents and transforms innovation into a structured, living system where every decision and insight is captured
for long-term value.
Wondershare EdrawMax Tutorial – 2025 (Beginner Guide)
EdrawMax is a comprehensive diagramming tool designed to help innovators translate complex ideas into clear,
visual representations. For inventors, visual communication is critical—not only for technical clarity but also
for engaging potential investors and partners.
This tutorial teaches participants to create diagrams such as Business Model Canvases, Lean Canvases, and
flowcharts that describe the innovation journey from ideation to market launch. It also covers system
architecture diagrams, helping technical and non-technical stakeholders understand how the invention functions.
Within the i2p program, strong visualization skills improve presentations, accelerate decision-making, and build
credibility. By presenting ideas through diagrams, innovators can communicate with precision, reduce ambiguity,
and demonstrate the structured thinking behind their solutions.
Master Make.com in 2 Hours – Beginner’s Guide (2025)
Make.com is a workflow automation platform that connects apps and services, enabling innovators to automate
repetitive tasks without deep programming knowledge. In innovation projects, this translates to more time spent
on creativity and testing, and less time wasted on manual work.
In this course, participants will learn to automate data collection from surveys and feedback tools, integrate
project management platforms with communication apps, and build automated reporting systems that keep track of
key performance indicators. These automations create a seamless flow of information across the innovation team.
In the i2p process, efficiency and speed are essential. By adopting Make.com, innovators can shorten feedback loops,
keep stakeholders aligned in real-time, and accelerate product development cycles. Automation becomes a key driver
of agility and scalability in the innovation pipeline.
Master n8n in 2 Hours – Beginner’s Guide (2025)
n8n is an open-source automation platform offering greater flexibility and customization compared to commercial
alternatives. For innovation projects, n8n provides the ability to design advanced, tailor-made workflows that
connect diverse data sources and systems.
Participants in this tutorial will explore how to integrate APIs, automate patent and market research processes,
and connect hardware prototypes or IoT devices to data pipelines. These workflows enable innovators to build
a data-driven foundation for decision-making.
In the i2p program, adopting n8n means innovators can reduce research time, gain real-time insights, and operate
with greater independence. Open-source flexibility also ensures that workflows can be adapted to local contexts,
compliance requirements, or unique innovation challenges.
