Entrepreneur Mindset Workshop
Take the quiz for the Berkeley Innovation Index: https://innovation-index.anvil.app/
And, read about it at https://innovation-index.anvil.app/
You may also want to assess your company with the Berkeley Method Venture Score, which takes just a few minutes. It’s valuable to consider why they selected the questions they include.
Be prepared to discuss the two elements for which you have the strongest innovation mindset and the one for which you had the lowest score. You will have a small group discussion about choosing teammates who strengthen your collective innovation mindset and, even better, what you can do to build up a stronger innovation mindset yourself.
