Learning that leaves the classroom.
Some of the best lessons happen on a stage in Golden, in a clinic outside Nagoya, or in a room full of people making a hard call together. Here’s what’s open, and what’s coming.
course · spring semester
Build in Japan™
A spring course that ends with about two weeks in Tokyo and Nagoya. You team up with Nagoya University students to design technology for Japan’s aging society, then pitch it in Nagoya to professors, industry experts and mentors. You earn 3 credits and 2 microcredentials, build a real product with a cross-cultural team, and see firsthand a country that is living the future first. Register in winter; travel in May.
workshop · executive briefing
DECIDE BETTER® workshops
A hands-on decision science session. Matt delivers it to Vistage CEO and executive peer groups, where members practice the tools behind better calls: spotting biases and heuristics, weighing options with the Analytic Hierarchy Process, and running a pre-mortem before they commit. They leave with a method their teams can reuse on the next hard decision. Vistage members rate it 4.89 out of 5, and 100% would recommend it. Students and aspiring leaders get the same tools. Scheduled by request.
