Work the hardest problems companies face — a supply shock, a regulator’s ruling, leadership changing the spec overnight — as a team, under pressure, in immersive weekends across a year. Leave with operating experience you can prove, and a cohort who survived the gauntlet with you.
The controller chip on your main board has gone end-of-life. Your supplier allocation is gone. Production halts in 21 days.
Companies can’t find people who have operated through a real disruption. Graduates can’t get the job that would give them that experience. We close the gap by giving you the reps, deliberately, with the people who’ve done it.
Every weekend is a live, immersive challenge inspired by real cases: experienced operators role-playing suppliers, regulators and executives; no simple answers; and a clock that doesn’t stop.
A critical chip on your main board goes unobtainable. Redesign the board, requalify a part, or renegotiate allocation — while the line keeps running.
A government customer designates your company a supply-chain risk. Protect revenue, respond to the regulator and keep your team and partners on side.
Leadership decides the capsule must now be recoverable and reusable. Rework the requirements, re-plan the program and decide what gets cut.
Form your team, learn the operator’s toolkit and take your first live incident by Saturday night.
Suppliers, factories and finance collide. Find the real problem before you solve the wrong one.
A regulator moves against you. Assess the exposure, brief the board and hold the room.
Leadership changes the spec, and everything you’ve learned arrives at once. Survive it together, then graduate.
University students, recent graduates and early- to mid-career professionals who want to work on hard, real-world problems before the stakes are real. No particular degree is required. Curiosity and the willingness to work in a team under pressure are.
Each weekend is a live scenario. Coaches and guests play the suppliers, regulators, executives and customers you have to deal with. Information arrives late and incomplete, and the situation changes while you work, just as it does in a real company.
Four in-person weekends across the year, plus light team sprints and debriefs in between: 40 hours per month. It’s designed to fit alongside study or a full-time job.
They’re inspired by real cases across hardware, deep tech, energy and regulated industries, rebuilt so you face the same kinds of decisions. Sponsor companies may also author scenarios drawn from their own operations.
Yes. We can invoice your employer for individual or team seats. Ask about sponsorship if your company wants to author a scenario or recruit from the cohort.
