The GRAMS framework is gold. It strips out the noise and focuses on what really matters in user interviews. Gary doesn’t just teach; he translates complexity into action. Super sharp, super helpful.

Not only the content was very interesting and applicable, but the session itself had a super clear and engaging structure.

In fact, it is so applicable that I have already absorbed the content and used it in a Design Sprint session with the team.

Gary is, without a doubt, one of the people I learned the most from in my entire design career. I worked with Gary for multiple years now in different capacities, not only leading together digital transformation and innovation-driven initiatives for global clients but also leading cross-functional, cross-location teams together.

Gary is definitely one of the best professors I’ve had in my academic career. I feel like his passion and energy made the experience beyond enjoyable. Wish he’d have more classes. Gosh I can’t remember listening so actively to anyone that wasn’t an actor in Game of Thrones. He’s a star!

5 Stars

I learnt that it is very important to gain a psychological and sociological perspective at the beginning of the entrepreneurial path. Gary did not leave any point unclear. It was a great and effective course in a compact way.

This class has been my favorite since I started studying ever. I loved everything about it, and I feel sad that it's over. I would've loved it if all classes were this enjoyable and instructive. Truly, one of my best experiences ever.

Gary is a phenomenal instructor, the way he utilizes human behavior to manage his class is great, the stories about his past clients and how other businesses use consumer behavior to understand their consumers and how they behave. This was by far the most interesting class I have ever taken.

The class is important for most of us who worked in marketing since we were taught how to use psychology in marketing. The course is interesting and sort of lays the foundations for many more to come.

Gary is great, and the way he delivers the class is fun and easy to follow. He clearly understands and is able to guide all students. I love his class!

We stopped guessing and built exactly what customers wanted - for once!

Our whole team relies on GRAMS, it's incredibly effective. - thanks Gary!

Gary makes the topic interesting, and he makes sure everyone fully understands it. While trying to make the class as interactive as possible. It is one of the best courses I have taken throughout my education.

I love the practical examples that the course exposed us to. Gary really touched a lot of things when explaining the course, the examples he gave us were awesome and I learnt a lot.

The way Gary presented the subject is very clear and made me understand the concepts easily. I liked learning about each of the theories.

Gary truly cares about his profession. He is so knowledgeable, very kind and always there to answer all of our questions. I would like to thank him for such a wonderful module.

Recalling my past knowledge about consumer behaviors and psychology lessons... now Gary matched them up, mixing all the materials to hit a bigger target in analysing how consumers react, purchase, and response from those aspects.

Very interesting concepts that are important for us to understand consumer (and our own) psychology and behavioural patterns better. Gary focuses less on textual learning and more on class participation and discussions.

I liked that the theories are used in our daily life practise. The course was eye-opening regarding how marketing strategies strongly leverage the behaviours of the consumers, and it is really helpful.

I am glad this course focuses on the learning process and rather the understanding of how relevant it is to your work while discussing how you apply it to our own cadence.

Gary van Broekhoven

As a consumer psychologist and innovation coach, I've spent 27 years talking to people from all walks of life, in every imaginable situation. The textbooks left me stranded and wasting a lot of time and effort, so I created the GRAMS Method™ for myself, initially just to survive tough interviews. When I shared GRAMS with my university students, I discovered its magic: a surprisingly simple yet incredibly powerful tool that anyone can quickly master. I continue to share it with students and brands around the world, but now, I'm sharing it with you.

GRAMS isn't just

another framework.

It replaces tools like the empathy map and goes deeper than

the value proposition canvas, giving you a clear advantage

without extra complexity.

When you're ready to upgrade one of the most important skills of your career,

why not invest just two hours now and save months of stress, risk and guesswork.

"Guessing is expensive and failing fast still means you've failed!"

The GRAMS Method™ – a deceptively simple, deeply powerful way

to get under the skin of what really drives your customers.

Old Risky Methods

Unfocused and awkward interviews with little actionable insights where you are focused more on selling rather than learning

Not sure if you're asking the right questions and overly rely on interview scripts that make the interview feel clinical

Difficult to steer the interview back on track when they deviate from your script

Biases and opinions lead the way to product development meaning risks are high!

Difficult to get them to open up and feel relaxed so you waste half the time on "ice-breakers."

New GRAMS Method™

Interviews that feel like natural conversations with you in total control

Whether with users or senior stakeholders, you'll gain deep insights, helping you make better product decisions

Structured, repeatable interview process that works with every type of customer in every type of situation

Frequently Asked Questions

"Is this really worth paying for?"

100% of my students think so. If you're not satisfied, you'll get a 100% refund. Question is, can your business afford not to?


"I’m not a researcher. Can I still use this?"

Absolutely! GRAMS is designed specifically for entrepreneurs, product managers, designers etc. Simple, clear and effective.


"Do I have time for this?"

It's self-paced. Invest a couple of hours and reap the rewards - forever!


"Can't I just ask GPT?"

Sure, we do, but that's desktop research, it's useful, but sadly, it's superficial, outdated, and exactly what your competitors use. GRAMS brings real-time human insights, shows you what people are talking about in amazon reviews etc., giving you that unfair advantage.

“ It’s not what they drive that counts but what drives them.”
