A peek inside the course

In traditional workshops, even the great ones, participants have forgotten much of what they learned within a few weeks. That’s why we’ve created a stand-alone online version of the workshop that they can access forever post-course. Here is an excerpt from the online version of Moonshot Thinking.

Track Record

  • The methodology was first developed at Telefonica Alpha (Europe's only Moonshot Factory) where it was used to find and launch moonshots in the areas of learning, energy and health.

    We regularly deliver this workshop in a variety of formats to VPs, directors and innovation teams working at Telefonica and Capgemini (over 500 participants since 2019). We also run an edition for the 2021 Mobile World Congress for a selected audience of politicians, business leaders and representatives of the public sector.

    Examples of other work we’ve done in this area include helping Médecins Sans Frontières imagine the future of humanitarian action, YPO the future of executive education and James Madison University the future of third-level education in a post-Covid world.
