Workshops
Come with a problem, leave with a plan. Innovate on Purpose workshops are hands-on working sessions that guide teams through the most important challenges of innovation.
Workshops include a planning pre-call to discuss your unique needs, so the workshop can be tailored to you. They include proprietary tools and workbooks that can be modified and reused as you choose.
On-site or online for up to 20 participants, workshops are priced at $15,000, plus travel if applicable. Workshops are 4 hours.
Workshop Extensions keep your project moving with three 1-hour follow-up sessions to review progress on next steps identified in-workshop and provide the opportunity for additional Q&A. Adding an extension is only $4,500.
