This event has sold out.  A waitlist is available.  Please complete the form on the right with your email and best contact number.  You will receive an email or phone call should a slot open up.

Our next event is Strategy Bootcamp: Business Model Brainstorming.

First, Kaihan Krippendorff will deliver a presentation designed to prime your outside-the-box thinking.

Second, Kaihan will facilitate an in-depth intra-group strategy session designed to help you generate new and innovative growth ideas. 

If you are an entrepreneur, this is a fantastic opportunity to bring your team together to generate a new and innovative growth idea, product, or service, while leveraging the insights, expertise and networks of a savvy group of Wharton alumni.  In addition, this is a great opportunity to hone your strategic creativity, while networking with the Wharton start-up community.  (Note: this event runs longer than typical WE-EARN events, because there will be a lot of ground to cover.)

Kaihan Krippendorff (W'94) is a renowned strategist, former McKinsey consultant and author of four business strategy books, including "Outthink the Competition."  He regularly applies the process we will work through together to help Microsoft, VMWare, Red Bull, Lockheed Martin, and hundreds of fast-growing ventures design disruptive growth strategies. He is regular lecturer at Wharton Exec Ed and a popular Fastcompany.com blogger.

"If we execute the ideas we came up with in Kaihan’s session, we will double our revenue next year."
- Mobile technology CEO

"Just one idea from Kaihan’s session tripled our revenue over three years."
- Technology finance group head
