SUMMARY:Startup Hiring Workshop with ERA Advisors
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO COLUMBIA STARTUP LAB TEAMS ONLY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt all starts with the team. Get it right and there is no obstacle a founder can’t overcome. When the team is healthy\, people show up at work with a smile and work relentlessly for the collective good. Get it wrong and you’ll wonder why the office is empty by 4pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen your company is at its earliest stage\, you’ll hire people you already know. But with a little success\, adding talent more quickly forces you to recruit total strangers. But how to do that well? \nJonathan Lowenhar has developed a proprietary framework for startup hiring and will deliver a fast paced\, practical guide that any founder can implement. It’s called the 12 Rules To Not Screw Up Startup Hiring.

He is co-founder of Strategyzer\, an innovation powerhouse that helps organizations develop growth engines\, better customer understanding\, more attractive value propositions and powerful business models via online applications and blended online/offline courses. \nOsterwalder invented the Business Model Canvas\, Value Proposition Canvas\, Culture Map\, and Business Portfolio Map\, to help business people with practical tools to help address important strategic jobs. He simplifies the strategy development process\, turning complex concepts into digestible visual models. As a result\, a better language for identifying and communicating value is created and disseminated throughout an organization. Osterwalder’s talks – which illuminate the application of these practical tools with current market examples – consistently rank first or second among his peers at global conferences. By punctuating his informative speeches with humor and interactive exercises\, Osterwalder establishes a deep and direct connection with audiences ranging from five to 5\,000 and beyond\, commanding high levels of participation\, engagement and enthusiasm. His speeches further reveal how his business model and value proposition frameworks allow companies to grasp and maintain a competitive advantage in the midst of a crowded\, or previously uncharted\, industry. \nA passionate entrepreneur\, in 2010\, Osterwalder co-founded Strategyzer\, a leading innovation powerhouse that helps organizations develop growth engines\, improve customer understanding\, and establish more attractive value propositions and business models. His world-renowned Business Model Canvas is trusted by more than five million business practitioners from leading global companies\, such as Coca-Cola\, GE\, Mastercard\, Ericsson\, Fujitsu\, 3M\, Intel and Microsoft\, and is outlined in his international best-seller\, “Business Model Generation” (Wiley\, 2010)\, which was named among the 12 best business books of all time by USA Today. His second book\, “Value Proposition Design: How to Create Products and Services Customers Want” (Wiley\, 2014)\, continues the conversation by addressing how to find a better fit between a product and its intended market. \nOsterwalder won the 2015 strategy award from Thinkers50 and currently ranks #7 among the top 50 business thinkers of the world. In 2013\, he won the European Union’s inaugural Innovation Luminary Award. A frequent keynote speaker at Fortune 500 companies\, Osterwalder travels the world discussing his ideas and strategies at leading universities such as Wharton\, Stanford\, Berkeley\, IESE\, MIT\, KAUST and IMD. He holds a doctorate from HEC Lausanne\, Switzerland\, and is a founding member of The Constellation\, a global not-for-profit organization aimed at eliminating HIV/AIDS and Malaria.

SUMMARY:Natural Vs. Unnatural Acts: What George Bernard Shaw Taught Me About Startups
DESCRIPTION:The Columbia Women Inventors Network and the Columbia Startup Lab present a talk from Michael Sikorsky\, CEO and co‐founder of Robots and Pencils. Michael will talk about what every startup and new venture can learn from the nineteenth century Irish playwright\, critic and polemicist – what are common mistakes people make\, and how to overcome the seduction of unnatural acts. \n\nMicheal Sikorsky\, CEO and Co-Founder\, Robots and Pencils Inc. \nMichael is the CEO and co-founder of Robots and Pencils Inc. With over 20 years of experience creating first-of-its kind software\, he is a renowned strategist\, innovator and pioneer in the mobile tech space. \nAt Robots and Pencils\, Michael leads a world-class team of developers and designers who have created over 250 apps used by 77 million people worldwide. Founded in 2009 with the vision that mobile will be more transformative than the Internet\, the team has built a reputation for creating top-ranking consumer apps\, transformative enterprise apps and world-first learning platforms. With a growth rate of 4971% over five years\, Robots and Pencils was named the 34th fastest growing technology company in North America in 2014. \nMichael credits the success of his company to its secret sauce – a process for following the talent as well as an internal ‘one culture’ partnership between award-winning artists and developers. Everything that Robots and Pencils does starts by blending the sciences with the humanities – the robots with the pencils. No stranger to the spotlight\, Michael has been widely celebrated for his entrepreneurial thinking\, and\, most recently\, he was one of only six in the world invited to the 2014 World Entrepreneur of the Year awards as part of a special citation on global growth. \nDriven by a love of learning and new insights and ideas\, Michael is currently completing executive education programs at the MIT Sloan School of Management and The Columbia Business School.
