Doing “business as usual” is not enough during times of economic downturns. We need “game changers” – people who create new sources of value through what Joseph Schumpeter called “creative destruction.” Who are the “game changers”? Why do they matter? How can firms develop them? How can you become one?

We’ve organized a WORKSHOP for you on this interesting topic.

When: Saturday 22.11 from 10:30 to 12:30
Where: @USI, A32 Room, Red Building 3rd Floor, Via Buffi 13, Lugano
