Our experiences unleash their impact
As a creative growth lab, we train corporate leaders in entrepreneurial competitiveness who have an initiative they want to execute and grow at startup speed using enterprise resources. These market experiences allow your best and brightest to attack challenges by operating outside the constraints and bureaucracy that frustrates growth.
Red Teams are tasked to identify areas in their industry and business where they can grow and innovate before a disruptor beats them to the punch. They immediately validate their thinking by pitching actual decision-makers ("Shark Tank") in their target market. This direct exchange of ideas, creativity, and precision drives breakout growth.
