Day 1 - PNGrowth Overview

The first day will be spent on entrepreneurs getting their bearings right and reflecting on where they stand with respect to where they want to be. The day will focus on getting the best tools and frameworks they need in place, to think about where their company is heading, and to understand their company represents versus what the category leader in their segment will look like.

Day 2 - Unfair Advantage and leveraging the Ecosystem

The second day will focus only on one thing – getting a gameplan in place with the aim of getting to category leadership in their spaces. This day will contain what the entrepreneurs will need to carry back most. The day will cover all the important things entrepreneurs need to concentrate on – culture, team, product/business, authentic leadership and so on. With sessions designed for entrepreneurs to work this out, this is going to be an absolute cracker of a day.

How we will be structuring the three days at PNgrowth

So far we've done three hangouts about #PNgrowth focusing on the "why" and "what" of the bootcamp. The why is simple: to create category leaders. The what is through an intensive three day bootcamp in Mysore and a year-long follow up after the camp. We want participants to leave with three concrete things: tools and frameworks for thinking about strategy; a personalized strategical game-plan for your company; with extensive feed-back and iteration guided by mentors and peers. But we know that three days isn't going to solve all your problems and the strategic plan you leave with isn't the last step.

In our next hangout moderated by Aaron Chatterji of Duke and Sharique Hasan of Stanford, we'll be bringing back Pallav Nadhani to chat about how we will be structuring the three days.

Our first day is now called "Rethink" and it will be a chance for founders to step back, and with the help of his or her peers, take some leaps about where they want their company to be in the future and what the "BIG" picture is that they are trying to accomplish.
