As we near the end of 2024, we are excited to reflect on the success of a new initiative we launched this year at Hindsight Ventures : our Executive Learning Program for Innovation Managers and Leaders. When participants say the program was “too intensive,” we take it as a sign that we’ve truly delivered—because we believe in giving “more” to drive real impact. I’m thrilled to share a snapshot of the program’s journey - which was nothing short of a whirlwind! 🌪️ We’re already looking ahead to Cohort-2, which will be launching early next year. Stay tuned for updates on dates and application details.
