Description
An engaing two-day workshop facilitated by Ycenter Founder and CEO Dhairya Pujara who’s company was recently featured in Inc Magazine Best in Business 2022 Honors.
The post pandemic world not only changed the social fabric of the modern world forever, it also brought the infusion of Artificial Intelligence into our lives.
The big question is what is the thing that separates us from AI? What makes us human?
The answer is our value system – to form social bonds, to empathize, to have unexpected Eureka moments of creativity and to be Entrepreneurial (i.e. to take risks and solve the most pressing problems).
This workshop is intended for people to truly explore their Entrepreneurial potential as Humans using a Design Thinking methodology. Learn how to use a human centered value system to solve problems in your neighborhood and around the world.
