There's no way to avoid uncertainty in innovation. Most of us mid-career professionals are confident with our one, two, maybe three areas of expertise… but as we're asked to innovate, we're also to go outside our expertise. So how do we explore & create the unknown? Lack of knowledge and fear often prevents us from even starting. Yet, the only way to overcome fear is experience. Please join AmCham Shanghai's Entrepreneur Committee for this innovative interactive workshop on January 22 2019 from 3:00-5:00 pm at AmCham Shanghai's Conference Room.

What is this workshop about?

PROTO is a card-game based workshop about innovation. Across two hours, participants will experience the startup journey for themselves. By building up their own "companies," participants will be challenged to pitch, analyze and develop their ideas into innovations.

As the game was co-created with dozens of actual entrepreneurs and corporate innovators, PROTO reflects the highs and lows of the startup process. Lead by the creativity consultancy, Let's Make Great!, PROTO was successfully funded on Kickstarter, launching late 2017.
