Why Us?
Depth
We are management consultants, digital transformers and capability developers and not event organizers. Our immersion programs are focused on your business challenges because solving them is our business.
Quality over quantity
We do not organize a massive number of immersion programs. We organize only one intercompany executive program a year, on average, thus ensuring quality over quantity.
Insider and outsider perspectives
We are based in San Francisco and participate in the SV ecosystem, but most of our activity is outside Silicon Valley, giving us a balanced perspective and a better understanding of the participants.
Silicon Valley (SV) Champions
Stable core SV faculty, more than 250 SV Speakers and 200 SV Companies have been engaged in our programs.
