(Intro) The experiment: Business Knowledge Sharing Sessions
Dear reader,
With this article, I kick off a brand new series on Medium: BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE SHARING SESSIONS.
What is the value proposition? It’s simple. These are educational knowledge-sharing sessions that I organize within the corporate Venture I lead at my company. I invite internal and external experts, business leaders and digital specialists, to share their knowledge and expertise with my team and a vetted group of colleagues.
What’s the scope?
- We talk about life stories that can inspire teams on different ways of working, new tools and lean start-up methodologies
- We cover elements of business strategy on corporate entrepreneurship, direct-to-consumer, subscription models and business model innovation
What’s the format? Usually, we do virtual presentations via Teams or Zoom and sessions normally last one hour, including Q&A. The audience is limited to 20–25 members to preserve and nurture intimacy and openness.
Now, enough with all the explanation. Enjoy the reading!
