Enabling Global Transformation: YPO Gold Transformation Bootcamp

Argo Ventures is gearing up for the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO) Transformation Bootcamp. The YPO Gold Member event is set to take place over the weekend, November 9 & 10, 2018, in Berlin, Germany. After the success of the February event, YPO will be engaging more than forty guests from over ten countries to share and integrate the four key aspects of Digital and Cultural Transformation.

Argo Ventures has a long track record of marrying digital disruption and innovative entrepreneurial practices. Over the course of more than 20 years of experience as Venture Builder, Argo has had a chance to optimise its knowledge and experience to provide only the best and most successful learning practises to entrepreneurs at any level. In the past two years, the venture building firm has blossomed to its full potential, and it still has many exciting updates due in the near future. The event style aims to give back to YPO by sharing knowledge that we have been gathering for the past 25 years.

How does it work, one may ask?

Argo Ventures developed a survey that appealed to YPO members. Three percent of members around the world responded to a series of specialised questions geared towards planning an custom-made event. The questions gathered information on what members already knew about digital transformation. Then, they collected information on their agility in business management areas such as design thinking, innovation, culture, and more. The result is a two-day bootcamp combining all relevant methods and knowledge to help entrepreneurs become masters in their fields.

Relevant methods and thinkers whose ideas we will pull from include:

  • Rockefeller Method
  • Peter Drucker
  • Simon Sinek
The event will be supported by Coaches and Consultants from the Argopreneurs Platform.

  • world-renowned thought leader, angel investor, and startup expert Christopher Maire
  • Head of Business Development at startup firebrand MoBerries, Mo Moubarak
  • forward-thinking and strategic developer for corporate venturing, Dr. Julian Kawohl

Origins of YPO

YPO is an exclusive international community of chief executives. It invites only the most influential and successful entrepreneurs on the planet. Originating in the United States, the group has expanded to cover over 130 countries. It boasts worldwide membership of over 24,000. The Berlin chapter is chaired by Argo Ventures founder and seasoned entrepreneur, Stefan Beiten.

During this session, the Argo Ventures team will simulate the full life cycle of an entrepreneur’s journey in the digital age. With a comprehensive palette of challenges, inspired by challenges real companies face, participants will have the chance to navigate these difficulties in teams. They will prepare for future challenges in their own businesses and develop a toolkit to guarantee entrepreneurial success. With guidance, participants will experience a facilitated preparation for the world of digital transformation and develop skills to apply it to their own business ventures.

We learned a lot, put even more into practice and look forward to starting the future. Perfect location and atmosphere, lots of fun, delicious catering and last but not least: A very professional and supporting team. Thank you, dear team: Great Job!“

As part of a state-of-the-art, tested programme, the event zeroes in on the ways in which successful ventures develop over time. Using technology to meet this end is just the first step. Once we have a better understanding of the ways in which technology can disrupt traditional business operations, there is more space for innovation on all levels. With this foundational framework, the event will tackle scaling techniques, evaluating different perspectives for venture growth, and analyse how to optimise company culture to foster a happy, satisfied team. These concepts will get members on their way to enhancing the performance of their ventures.

With a full two days ahead, the excitement is high. Live updates can be followed on Twitter.
