Impact the world around you. Become a GameChanger!

About

You want to make it count in this world. You want to change things and make an impact. You are a person who wants to turn a great idea into a successful product,  make yourself a game changer. We know it’s a struggle to turn an idea into a product. It’s even harder to turn a product into a business. You might feel you don’t have a full enough picture how to get new things done and how to make better choices to win. You might even not know where exactly to begin. It’s hard to get your colleagues to change how they think and act to get things done. You have read “the books and the blogs” – perhaps been in a hackathon or organized one in your company, but it’s still “not happening”. Thus, you and the “innovation program” you’re part of produce no tangible results. On-top of this, the world out there is spinning at an ever increasing speed – technology changes exponentially but you as human being, you are built as linear bio-robot :) That’s where we come in. We have been in your shoes. We will share practical war-stories, hopefully some inspiration, the mindset how to get things done and the tools we believe are the best to make a change happen. We’re the Gamechangers. Join us and make yourself a game changer!

  • Builders Days Don’t polish the rocket, just build to ship.
  • Product is not a business, so lets work out where is the money at.
  • A foosball table and a hoodie isn’t a startup cultureaka how to lead people & manage the product.
  • Designing your 100 day action plan for when you’re back at your work cubicle or at the plain desk at a coworking space.

After the program we’ll still be there for you

  • Follow ups we’ll meet with the course once a month – is your thing still alive? How can we help?
  • 100 days later: The day for your war stories.
