The method used to innovate and undertake in Silicon Valley.

This method has been conceptualized, designed, and tested by experts and the Imagine team since 2011. Lombard is structured in 4 phases and includes mechanisms to integrate inspiring creative visits, key mentors, speaker sessions, and workshops throughout its development. The methodology helps generate attitudes that lead to innovation: deferring judgment, seeing mistakes as part of the process.

I find the course approach really interesting, especially when it comes to a topic like creativity and the difficulties of providing training in such a subject in an online version. In addition, I find the content to be very useful and the format very simple and enjoyable to follow.
