The workshops are delivered either virtually or in Switzerland in either English or German.
Solve
We end analysis paralysis.
Experience together, find solutions.
In the 21h workshop we help you lay the foundation for success. Using innovative tools in combination with demanding team challenges and a highly qualified bench of experts who act as sparring partners. We spend the 21 hours together in an awe inspiring environment, unlocking solutions and finding answers. Our bespoke team will be selected based on the size of your group and the challenge you face.
Launch
Talking is not enough. Doing is what matters.
What was worked out in the 21h workshop must be implemented. Talking is not enough, no matter how good the invention or innovation your next challenge is to be ready for market and series production. Our 21 day process will get you there. We offer to take this step for you. During this phase we bring our strengths and experience into play to make your solution a reality. We are focused on finding the best and most practical way to implement your idea. We work 21 days non-stop with one guarantee: a fully functional prototype at the end of this process.
Experts
Half of the workshop participants are the team that you bring and the other half is from our 21 expert pool. You choose your desired candidates and we put together the team.
“We went through the 21h workshop regarding an area development. The approach, efficiency and drive brought us to the point of conviction. In the end there was a clear solution.”
"As an organization with around 50 million members worldwide, we asked ourselves how we could tackle the problem of the several hundred million "Useless People". The result is not just a vision, but a concrete solution."
We will push you
to get absolute clarity and forward momentum

We use these tools, together with an inspiring experience, and a highly qualified and deeply experienced team in our 21 h workshop.
