Lunch Event: Thinking Like an Entrepreneur with CBS Professor Jorge Guzman

Lunch Event in private room at ArtBar at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge: "Thinking Like an Entrepreneur" with CBS Professor Jorge Guzman

Professor Jorge Guzman will present a shortened version of his executive class: Thinking Like an Entrepreneur (for the Corporate Executive).

The goal of this class is to learn how entrepreneurial decision making is different, due to the need to cope with uncertainty and the focus on developing ideas that many others may not initially get. After understanding the skills that allow entrepreneurs to do so successfully, we ask which policies and structures are in a company that promote more entrepreneurial decision making for everybody and how any executive can develop some of those skills for their own careers.

The event will be held in a private room at ArtBar Cambridge, inside the Royal Sonesta. Please arrive by Noon to briefly network and find your seat. The program will run from 12:30-1:30 pm.
