Facilitated by InceptionU CEO and co-founder Margo Purcell, learn a multi-use framework (TeamScaping®) - a journey that moves teams and organizations from what we do to how we want to work.
Focus on your organization's most valuable asset:
... Your people.
Talent Landscaping is a pair of sessions focusing on both foundational resilience and cultivating the right conditions for innovation.
This integrated approach equips organizations to not only navigate economic fluctuations by shifting focus to core operational processes, but also to proactively foster an internal ecosystem fertile for innovation and growth.
Through interactive sessions using practical frameworks, organizations will learn to map their internal and external landscapes, identify areas of uncertainty, understand their current culture's readiness for innovation, and develop actionable strategies for both immediate improvements and long-term resilience through a strategically nurtured talent environment.

I decided to seek some more formal training, and that was at InceptionU. And I was blown away with how fast I was able to learn the basics that I had been struggling over for two years that I was trying to do it on my own; how succinctly they were able to teach it, and then go way past that and blow your expectations out for how much you can learn in a short period of time.
Aric Crosson-Bouwers
My experience at InceptionU has blown me away. I had high expectations to learn the technical skills, and what I found at InceptionU is that they bring all the right people, not only for techinical skills, but for what tech can be. The diversity in the cohort, and the diversity in the facilitators has been great. InceptionU has been a game-changer and a life changer for me.
