Innovation Workshops
They need a repeatable method for solving hard problems creatively. 12 consumer products built at Vulpine Creations, 30+ startups mentored at Startup Burgenland, one company sold — I teach the exact methodology I use to take ideas from impossible to inevitable. Half-day, full-day, and multi-day formats for teams of 8–60.
Every exercise comes from 20+ years of building real products under real constraints. Your team practises the same method that took concepts from napkin sketch to tens of thousands of units sold — then applies it to your actual business challenges before they leave the room.
Workshop Topics
A repeatable method for reframing stuck problems and generating non-obvious solutions. Participants learn to define the desired outcome, then work backwards through systematic elimination until only the essential path remains. For: cross-functional teams, product & strategy leads, R&D groups.
How to set creative constraints, evaluate unconventional ideas without killing them, and build teams that ship. Based on lessons from running Startup Burgenland with 30+ portfolio startups. For: C-suite, VPs, directors, and senior managers.
Replace “that's not possible” with “how might we?” Through hands-on exercises from 20+ years of product development, participants practise redefining constraints and inverting assumptions. For: teams stuck in incremental thinking — especially product, design, and strategy.
Rapid validation, ruthless prioritisation, and MVP thinking inside enterprise constraints. From founding and selling a company to mentoring 30+ early-stage ventures — the startup playbook, adapted for corporates. For: innovation labs, intrapreneurship teams, business units launching new offerings.
Step 1: Define the experience you want the end user to have. Step 2: Work backwards. Step 3: Eliminate everything that does not serve that experience. What remains is the product. This is how I have built 12 consumer products at Vulpine Creations from scratch — from first sketch to tens of thousands of units sold worldwide. In every workshop, your team applies this same method to your real business challenges: not a simulation, not a case study, but your actual problems, solved before they leave the room.
“Start with the outcome. Eliminate until only the essential remains. What's left is what ships.”
What Your Team Takes Home
Not a one-off inspiration hit. Your team leaves with a structured, repeatable creative problem-solving process they can run independently on any challenge.
When everyone speaks the same methodology, collaboration accelerates. Teams stop debating process and start solving problems together.
Every workshop is built around your actual business challenges. Your team does not practise on hypotheticals — they leave with actionable solutions they can implement immediately.
Not theory from a textbook. Every exercise comes from real product development — from first concept to global distribution.
As an accelerator lead, I have helped founders across industries apply creative constraints to ship faster and smarter.
Half-day intensives, full-day deep dives, or multi-day programmes. Teams of 8–60. On-site or hybrid. Every session is customised to your goals.
Tell me what your team is stuck on. I will design a workshop around that specific challenge — and your team will leave with both the solution and the method to repeat it. No generic exercises. No trust falls.
Typical lead time: 2–4 weeks. Includes a pre-workshop discovery call to align on objectives.
