  SILICON VALLEY INSPIRATION TOURS Inup to five meetings per day, our participants learn to understand what they should to differently, when they return home – to inspire their community and their industry.
• 3.
  THE DILEMMA When theyreturn home, most of what they wanted to do, is overwhelmed by the lots they have to do, to keep current operations running. The spirit fades.
• 4.
  THE ANSWER Come witha real problem into the program. We will introduce you to inspiring personalities, you should have a conversation with. When you return home at the end of the week, you will know exactly what to do to solve your problem.
• 5.
  SUCESS IS... ...when youhave a roadmap that brings you to a solution you did not come up to before you embarked the program.
• 6.
  5 DAYS Monday +Tuesday Meetings with people who understand your problem and deliver thoughts to adress your problem from a different perspective. Wednesday Dive deep on Exponential Growth Strategies, Design Thinking and Business Modell Prototyping. Thursday Convert the experience of the previous days to the existing problem and strategise on szenarios to solve it. Friday Develop a roadmap. Define first steps. Wrap up.
• 7.
  MEETINGS Flipped Conference We willtalk to executives, founders, mentors, senior advisors, venture capitalists and academia. These meetings will be curated to help you getting smart on how to adress your business, your industry and your market from different possible angles. In the successful fashion of the „flipped conference“ format, you will meet people who bring a highly inspiring understanding of making use of technology, methodology and the right environment to create a new culture of becoming (or staying) a gamechanging player in the industry. Conversations will match your topic, your industry and puzzlepiece together to a new picture of where you actually are and what is currently happening in the world.

  WORKSHOPS Exponential Growth You cannever be innovative around technology. It would get too expensive and would turn your endeavor into a constant chase, not being behind the curve. Innovation is where companies/organisations/people identify problems worth solving and either use existing technology or develop new technology to solve them. In the workshop you will learn about the specifics of exponential growth, of which we are all surrounded by – and by the fact that both problems and technology to solve them, have just hit the knee on this curve.
• 9.
  WORKSHOPS Design Thinking Design Thinkingis a methodology to understand creating products/solutions, no one has asked for, but they solve problems and generate significant change in the industry. Key aspects of design thinking is a highly empathetical approach towards end users and a culture of prototyping everything: products, ideas and even business models are being prototyped, to rapidly understand how to move on or pivot an idea.
• 10.
  UNDERSTAND Turn insight intoaction Three days of back to back conversation deliver a lot of food for thoughts, understanding the concepts of exponential growth and blending all of the above with the design thinking process works better with some mentoring and guidance. Accomplishing the task to return from the tour with a real roadmap to change the narrative requires a solution for internal processes and infrastructural mindsets as much as the steps to external delivery. This two fold structure is key element of the fourth day to build the roadmap on day five.
• 11.
  ROADMAP 48 Hours 48 hoursis a critical timeframe with significant consequences: if you do not begin to convert experience into action, within 48 hours, the momentum of the experience will fade dramatically. Catching up – is the enemy of action. Hence you must leave the level two program with a roadmap that gives you a guidance of internal and external consequences of the experience. The roadmap will never be a full guarantee to success, but it will make sure, your Silicon Valley Experience is immediately translated into your personal and professional development and its highly possible that this impact will change the way you (and your company) do things.
