Teaching

AI, innovation. Entrepreneurship, creativity. Transformative leadership.

Mike has 25 years of experience teaching MBAs and senior executives at many of the top institutions in the world. His course portfolio is vast. Any of his courses can be repurposed for an executive audience. These courses can be compressed into anything from a half-day workshop to a week-long executive education program. All courses are highly experiential in design. Executives bring their own business challenges to each course and work on those challenges over the duration of the program.
