The Jeep isn’t just a car, it’s a cult: inspiring clubs, meetups, even its own “Jeep Wave.” From cameos in M*A*S*H to Mean Girls, the Jeep’s been ranked the most patriotic brand in America for 20-straight years (sorry, Coke). But did you know that Jeep actually started as a group project? Learn how three fiercely competitive rivals came together for some emergency teamwork to help Allied Forces win WWII, how a freelance designer almost didn’t get the credit, and how its name was (maybe) inspired by a mythical character from Popeye. Jeep isn’t just the world’s most epic 4x4… it literally saved the world.

We all know that startup personalities are "special"... Let's explore the science behind it!

In our session, Annemarie Penny from Dreamore will take us through a recently published academic study of 21K founders and startups on Crunchbase.  

We'll discuss two key insights from this research: 

1. entrepreneurs are wired differently based on specific clusters of personality traits

2. success is predictable with the right mix of personalities more than ANY other factor

Just for fun, we'll share some other conclusions from the study related to startup success (and failure).

Lastly, we can focus on what really matters: what are the opportunities to take this data and make it actionable and measurable.  

Annemarie is applying methodology based on her 30 years of startup expertise.  We're excited for our PVIAG meeting attendees to come up with other ideas/applications during our interactive sessions too!

Many entrepreneurs see “process” as the antithesis of “innovation” but the truth is far more complex.  Effective and ongoing innovation for any organization actually relies on effective processes, rather than defying them.  Of course, to overcome the very real challenges that gave rise to the anti-process sentiment, Innovation Processes must be carefully designed and implemented.  But what does that really mean?  How can an organization boost innovation with a well designed process?

Join Belle Walker for the 3rd installment in our Innovation Series to explore the 3 Process Enablers of Sustainable Innovation.  If you’ve joined the first two installments of the series, you’ve got the soft skills, you’ve got the framework, so let’s get you the process to kick start your client’s innovation journey!
