Most educational programs equip you with checklists and a one-size fits all approach. The result: you leave all revved up to go. After the program, what real changes or impact have the students really been able to create?
A Bold Thinking program is framed in a context that reveals the vital decisions the individual, the entrepreneur, or leader must make to achieve true advantage in the marketplace.
We believe entrepreneurship is the essence of advantage.
Investors often remark that it is not the lack of business plans to invest in, but rather it is the lack of investable business plans to be considered as investments. Our approach in our program is to utilize the nationally ranked, award-winning entrepreneurial education methods utilized by Dr. Jeffrey Stamp at the University of North Dakota to improve both the core entrepreneurial competency of the participants but also to develop viable and investable ventures.
Successful entrepreneurs think of entrepreneurship as a process of creating value by bringing together a unique set of resources in order to pursue an opportunity. This program is focused on entrepreneurship as a balance between opportunity identification and resource gathering as primary skill sets.
Unlike other simple fill-in-the-blank template programs, our programs help to develop an entrepreneurial competency set. We delve into more than the business plan, more than tips, more than advice, more than storytelling, and even more than strategy. We uncover the strengths in the entrepreneur’s thinking skills. We help them with the entrepreneurial competency sets that they can then further develop. We help them craft the best entrepreneurial lifestyle for who they are. We enable the entrepreneurs in the program to make strides toward truly systemic change in their business and their life
