Many governments and organizations have wanted to unravel the magic behind the innovations of Silicon Valley so that they can take it back and re-create its success. After my many years of working and innovating in the valley, I've learned that there isn't a one size fits all way to re-create the valley.  You can't read the latest book outlining the “10 Steps of .. [insert: Apple, Steve Jobs, Google, Facebook, etc]” deploy them in your team and automatically expect success.  Instead, you need to immerse yourself in the valley (not read about it in a book), learn from the leaders and apply what will work for you. So I'm back teaching my Innovation Boot Camp course.

I've expanded the Innovation Boot Camp I typically do for private and  in-tact teams by immersing attendees in to the Silicon Valley experience of creating game-changing innovations used by millions of people worldwide.

The workshop allows attendees to spend a week exploring and applying new methods that will help spark innovative thinking in your organization; attend a pitch session and witness a live innovation forum;  benefit from discussions with some of the leading innovators in the valley, participate in tours at leading companies in the valley, all while learning and applying new skills.

Normally these are closed events.  However, periodically the workshop that is open to the public in Silicon Valley . These are RARE opportunities for individuals who are passionate about innovation and creativity to experience Silicon Valley.
