Methods in Ignatian Innovation is not a lecture based note-taking class. It is an active class; a 'doing' class - it is experiential learning. Though a series of workshops, guest speakers and hands-on activities, students, working in groups, will develop not just a mindset or a skillset but a complete way of operating that will enable them to Be The Difference they want to see in the world. It is Innovation for the Greater Good. Please email Patrick with any questions!
At the core of Methods of Ignatian Innovation is the Ignatian Imperative: Love is shown more in deeds than in words. Deeds, like innovation, like entrepreneurship require action. And when we act for others, it makes us innovators for the greater good: Innovation AMDG.
4. Entrepreneurship is more than startups.
We must expand our view of entrepreneurs beyond simply people who create startups backed by venture capital. Entrepreneurs are needed and certainly can exist inside already established organizations. They can be in nonprofits, academia, government, and faith-based organizations. They should be ubiquitous in our society. Entrepreneurs are efficient, effective and creative problem solvers who thrive in times of change. They don’t fear change but rather see it as an opportunity. With change coming at us and an increasingly rapid pace, it is essential that all of use have an entrepreneurial mode in all facets of our lives, not just startups.
