Entrepreneurial Thinking

Settle in with sandwiches and refreshments. Reconnect with fellow cohort members and faculty before the session opens.

What separates activity from impact? Fellows explore initiative as purposeful action that creates measurable value, and the shift from contributor mindset to leader mindset: from personal output to systemic leverage.

A real case of entrepreneurial initiative: a management trainee identifies a structural problem experienced managers had accepted for years, builds the case, and walks into the CEO's office with a solution.

Three frameworks for understanding what value actually means in practice. Fellows map their real value equation: what they give, what they silently cost, and where they land on the Value Stick.

The problem you are asked to solve is almost never the problem that most needs solving. Fellows build diagnostic skills to distinguish what they observe from what is actually broken, and apply structured frameworks to real challenges from their own organizations.
