Creativity & Business Problems in the Age of AI - a workshop for entrepreneurs
We are entering a strange moment for creativity.

For decades, we have been taught that innovation comes from thinking outside the box, brainstorming more ideas, & waiting for that breakthrough moment.

But in the age of AI, & ideas are suddenly abundant, the real challenge is no longer simply coming up with more ideas. It is knowing how to find the right pieces, make unexpected connections, & turn them into something genuinely new & useful.

This hands-on workshop, led by our head of program Jeffrey, introduces a practical methodology for doing exactly that.

What we'll cover

We'll start by looking at some of the traditional assumptions behind creativity & innovation: brainstorming, originality, intuition, & the idea of the lone creative genius, & why some of those assumptions are becoming less useful in an AI-native world.

We'll then introduce a different way to approach creative problem-solving: instead of trying to invent the answer from scratch, you'll learn how to break a problem apart, deliberately search for useful precedents & ideas, & recombine existing elements in new ways.

Through real-world case studies, we'll examine how successful products, businesses, & innovations often emerge not from a completely original idea, but from making the right connection between things that already exist.

Most importantly, this will not be a lecture.

You'll work through the methodology yourself, apply it to actual business problems, & leave with a framework you can reuse when thinking about products, positioning, growth, operations, or your next startup idea.

Who should attend

This workshop is designed primarily for:

Early-stage founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, small business owners, product builders, & operators who regularly need to solve ambiguous problems with limited resources.

No technical background is required.

If you have ever stared at a blank page thinking, I need a better idea, this workshop is for you.

Come with a problem. Leave with a different way of thinking about it.
