Content
The Venture Academy Online includes 36 video sessions featuring 23 lectures on key business processes and principles and 13 Harvard Business School case study discussions (two discussions include two cases), as well as recorded webinars.
Additional materials such as workbooks and business planning and management templates are also available for no additional charge to subscribers to download. Download link
For additional educational value, you can purchase the Harvard Business School case studies and read through them prior to watching the videos of the case discussions (Harvard requires that you order cases directly from them). Click here for order information.
Our content includes the following resources:
- Lectures and case study discussion videos from our classroom-based Venture Academy that was taught at a men’s retreat. While I frequently address the audience in the masculine gender because the audience was all male – including fathers and sons – the content is just as applicable to women, families, business partners, and employees.
- Recorded webinars. We insert recorded webinar videos on the Content page below under the appropriate topic. Please email us any topics you would like us to address in a webinar.
- Threaded discussion. Subscribers can post and read all questions and the instructor’s responses for additional educational value.
- Other suggested materials. Below each video as it is being watched are suggested resources that may interest you for further study.
- New! Downloads and business planning templates. Subscribers also have access to PDF copies of all of the presentations as well as 70 business planning templates, legal templates, and other useful documents. Subscribers can access all downloads here
