(Updated) Teaching kick-ass course on innovation: SF, March 30

Through the wonderful folks at O’Reilly Media, I’ll be teaching my most popular full day course, Leading and Managing breakthrough projects, Monday March 30th, in San Francisco.

I’ve taught the course for companies all over the world and the fun, interactive and challenging material comes from years of consulting and researching what makes innovation happen. Only a fraction of the course is material found in the Myths of Innovation book.

If you lead or work where innovation, creative thinking, or developing new ideas are in your goals, this is the class for you. There is no bullshit, almost no jargon, just lots of debunking myths, practicing real tactics, and discussing facts and opinions you need to know.

For $550 (price goes up to $600 after March 15) you get:

A top rated, world class, fun, kick-ass full day course that will challenge you. (See the learning objectives for the course here)
Free consulting or Q&A with me over email after the course
A signed copy of the bestseller, The Myths of Innovation

(Update) Use the promo code berkunproj25 – to get a 25% discount – $420 for the day.

Registration and more details here.

There are also workshops from Doug Crockford (JavaScript: The Good Parts), and Steve Souders on High Performance Websites. These workshops come before Web 2.0 Expo in SF, so itâ€™s a good doubleheader.

Not sure if the course is right for you? Leave a comment and I’ll answer your questions.

Thanks for asking – it’s up to the folks at O’Reilly. They’d like to repeat these seminars if they go well, but as I understand it right now they have no specific plans.

But do continue to leave requests here – I’ll pass the list on to O’Reilly in a couple of weeks.

Ah, this is cool. I’ve heard you read/speak about the book, but have not learned with you.

We chatted a bit about nonprofit projects and I’m working on one right now and I’d love to figure out how to make it work even better.

Thanks for making the free ticket available, I’m sure it will be well utilized.
