The Art of Entrepreneurial Thinking: “Getting Stuff Done”

Our CEO team kicked off the first lesson in our Entrepreneurial Thinking series by Professor Doug Villhard from Washington University in St. Louis. Through his lesson and hands-on team activities, students discovered the power of focus, teamwork, and learning from failure - all essential for staying organized and getting things done in class business projects. Villhard also introduced Trello as a way to organize the workflow process.

Doug Villhard is a Professor of Practice in Entrepreneurship and the Academic Director for Entrepreneurship at WashU’s Olin Business School. His career began at Disney before he went on to become a serial entrepreneur, starting, selling, buying, advising, and investing in companies.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn from Villhard’s experience and insights as our students begin the journey of planning their class business.
