Austria - During the course of that week I visited a number of startups, incubators and accelerators, corporate innovation programs, and investors in Vienna and across Austria. This helped me gain an appreciation for what the Austrian business leaders, entrepreneurs, and government are doing to try and accelerate innovation and entrepreneurial activity. I also gave several talks, including at Vienna University, and participated in some sessions - including on corporate entrepreneurship - at the startup-focused Pioneers Festival. Travel tip: Vienna is truly a dynamic and lovely city. Loaded with culture and the arts, great infrastructure, smart people, centrally located in Europe, it is a great place to visit and it truly seems a great place to live. Stay at the Hotel Sacher (famous for their Sacher Torte) if you can. And be sure to catch some culture, including museums, music, palaces, cathedrals, and more. Highlights of my week included visits to Runtastic (one of Austria’s startup success stories), the KAPSCH TraficCom Accelerator Program, the Vienna University Entrepreneurship Center and the A1 Startup Campus.

In your search for success you will almost certainly encounter failures along the way. What separates the winners from the losers over the long run? In many cases it is their ability to develop a productive relationship with failure: minimizing its damage, extracting new insights, and putting that new knowledge to work. In this highly-praised and ground-breaking book, Mark and his co-author John Danner share insights on how to do just that, drawing on exclusive interviews with leaders of organizations of all sizes, types and stages.

The FVC helps leaders and organizations avoid failure in the first place, recognize it earlier, reduce its impact, deal with it better when it happens (which it will), and leverage it to drive stronger performance.

“Learning entrepreneurship shouldn’t have you stuck in a classroom listening to lectures and discussing cases and business plans; it is truly about giving ideas a chance to succeed or fail quickly, and learning from that. That’s exactly what Professor Coopersmith taught me!” – Learn2Launch international student “I am coming back to San Francisco to pursue my dream. I hope you keep being just as passionate about everything you do, and keep infecting the rest of us like you infected me. That’s a remarkable feature about you!” – International grad student (and yes, he came back to San Francisco!) “Professor Coopersmith was extremely effective at challenging us, guiding discussions and providing insights and advice about our work and projects. He created a class atmosphere that was open, collaborative and supportive. We learned from one another in addition to his lectures and workshop activities, and the amazing guests he brought into the classroom.” – Haas MBA student Image: Mark’s Classroom at UC Berkeley https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c5e59cd3a9020ed869dede/1657136578248-C23QE8PKIU0C4GN6DTNW/Mark+Coopersmith+Executive+Education.jpeg Teaching - Make it stand out At Google with executives from SE Asia (note Stan the Dinosaur in the background serving as a reminder what happens if you don’t innovate and evolve) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c5e59cd3a9020ed869dede/1657136578255-N4WV4BYHOTQRC1DKXIQV/TOFW+Exec+Ed+Course.jpeg Teaching - “I attended the ‘Startup Mindset’ course at UC Berkeley. I wanted to let you know how surprised and pleased I was, as this turned out to be the most engaging and practical learning experience I’ve ever had on this complex and esoteric subject of Entrepreneurship’. – Exec Ed Program Attendee “The knowledge and the experience Mark shared with our leadership team was invaluable. We applied the recommendations as soon as we got back to the office and the results are amazing. Part of our success belongs to Mark.” – President, Canadian energy utility “Mark’s Corporate Entrepreneurship course was fantastic . It helped me understand what I need to do to move my organization and team away from old habits and move towards best practices of an entrepreneurial company. An insightful, and highly collaborative experience.” – CEO, multinational professional services and consulting company Image: With students and co-author and fellow teacher John Danner at UC Berkeley https://www.markcoopersmith.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-08-29
