🔥 Jump on this rare opportunity to learn the Innovation Sprint Facilitation process!
Quinnipiac University’s M&T Bank Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is excited to announce a transformative Innovation Sprint: Facilitator Training Workshop led by two distinguished innovation experts. In this intensive one-day workshop, you’ll learn to compress months of work into just a few days while creating solutions that truly meet your organization’s needs.
We’ll meet in the Innovation Center, chat over coffee and pastries, and then learn and practice facilitating innovative solutions for “problems worth solving.” We’ll break for a box lunch and networking, then in the afternoon, we’ll wrap up the experience with alternate Sprint formats, integrating AI, and Q&A. You’ll leave with facilitation experience, new ideas, and fresh inspiration to take back to your team and organization. Or better yet, bring your team members with you to accelerate your culture of innovation. 💥
Space is limited, so register now. We would love to spend the day with you! 👯♀️
Next time you are inclined to schedule a meeting, you’ll ask yourself, “Should this meeting be a workshop instead?” You’ll have a toolbox full of options from which to draw. 🛠️
