(companies and business associations)
Our Corporate Entrepreneurship message can be delivered as a Keynote Address for company conferences, a half-day Executive Overview for boards and senior management or as our most widely used program, the full-day Corporate Entrepreneurship Seminar for all management teams. The core message is that creating and growing a business is very different from “managing” a business. These sessions offer participants a unique grounding in high-growth entrepreneurial practices – and a roadmap for creating a more entrepreneurial organization. The full day seminar is designed for 25 to 40 managers, with half the day devoted to Application planning. The session has two goals: that participants learn the entrepreneurial basics which propel all high growth enterprise and leave with a plan for instilling those basics in their own departments – and across the organization.

! (aspiring entrepreneurs)
70% of students and workers dream of someday running their own business — to achieve a greater sense of fulfillment in their work and to assure their family’s economic prosperity. Our Getting Entrepreneurial! Seminar gives participants the secrets of the world’s great entrepreneurs, plus the eleven essential application exercises to get them started. The full day seminar is designed for 25 to 50 people, with half the day devoted to Application planning. The session has two goals: that each aspiring entrepreneur will learn the entrepreneurial basics, and will leave the session with his/her own entrepreneurial action plan for starting their own business! On-going start-up assistance, including 30 and 90 day follow-up sessions, are also available.

(governments)
The driving force of every successful economy in the world is entrepreneurship. The program describes how governments can create more entrepreneurial economies by encouraging, training and supporting large numbers of new entrepreneurs each year. The session details our four phase project approach to spur job creation, business start-ups, and economic development. It concludes with Applications to determine what key actions must be taken to create a self-sustaining and job creating entrepreneurial economy.

(educational organizations)
The best practices of the top university entrepreneurship programs in the world are presented and discussed. Based on this review, the university executive and academic team develop an action plan to raise the profile, quality and end results of their own entrepreneurship curriculum and program. A half-day teaching demonstration of our Getting Entrepreneurial! Seminar, for the faculty and select students, concludes the day.
