In one day create a new product/service or find ways to operate more efficiently at The Medici Experience San Jose. Be a part of rebuilding the economic community of San Jose by networking across sectors and creating a new network of colleagues committed to the viability of California.
The Medici Experience brings you together with people of diverse backgrounds yet one common purpose—to propel you and your organization forward through inspiration and ingenuity. During this intense, day long workshop, world-renowned innovation expert Frans Johansson will demonstrate how you can use existing resources, assets, skills, and relationships to address business challenges in creative new ways.
Here’s how it works…
Session 1: Unleash an explosion of ideas
Frans begins with an inspiring presentation on The Medici Effect. Afterwards, you move quickly to map out your organization’s resources, assets, skills, and relationships. Then, you learn how to leverage these building blocks as you brainstorm inventive new ways to meet your most difficult challenges.
Session 2: Selecting and improving groundbreaking ideas
Here is where you discover how to break down barriers between people from different departments, industries, fields, and cultures. Through a rapid succession of connecting exercises, you help each other advance ideas and learn how to apply these techniques in your everyday work. Finally, you prioritize your ideas and single out the most promising one.
Session 3: Planning for mistakes and failures
Innovation is impossible without mistakes and failures. In this session, you will learn how you can improvise after mistakes, minimize their impact, and learn from their lessons. This remarkable session will prepare you to navigate obstacles as you move forward with your new strategic direction.
Session 4: Get going and execute!
This is where you will create your action plan for the product or service you’ve been nurturing. You will also identify the people and partners you need to move forward, quickly and inexpensively.
By day’s end, the Medici Experience will send you on your way with new tools and strategies for innovation and have you ready to face any challenge. More important, you will leave with specific ideas and the right outlook and plan to pursue them.
