THE LIFT

Gain a unique and sustainable learning experience by building a real company within only 24 hours

The Lift is one of the most intense learning experiences in the education market. It basically means: In a team of 7 to 20 people you are facing the challenge to startup a real company within only 24 hours with nothing more than 1.000 € seed money.

Sounds crazy? Well, it is.

Innovating & learning - two sides of a coin

Our StartUp & Learning Coaches will guide your team through all phases of the structured process – from idea generation and business model design to the implementation and actual running of your new high speed venture. Learning loops in connection to each sequence will guarantee you the best individual learning experience.

Sounds tough? Well, it is.

Focused on you - to lift you

But the purpose of this training is not the creation of a company. The real focus is what happens to you and the people around you while you are going through this process. The training is absolutely focused on your individual and team development and learning process. The new company is more of a by-product from this perspective. The start-up process is a methodological framework, motivator and context, but in the end the Lift is only about you, your competencies and the quality of your team’s interactions.

Sounds like rock’n’roll? Well, it is.

BENEFIT

We believe that entrepreneurial activities like planning, designing and actually building new business models are a perfect hotbed for complex and sustainable learning experiences, addressing and developing some of the most relevant competencies for your professional performance.

We also believe that simulating reality ends up in weaker results than experiencing your challenges in reality itself. Therefore in our learning program we not only work with business related fictional exercises, but with Flairlifter you and your team are asked to start up a real enterprise in the market. Without a safety-net. This is what we call entrepreneurial learning.

Our new educational concept is naturally developing 6 key competencies:

 

Keep in mind, this is no simulation! You create a real company and to do this, you have to use the impulses from the coaches and act like an entrepeneur.

THINK AND ACT LIKE AN ENTREPENEUR

Creativity is a craft that can be practiced. The coaches gives you advices and in each sequence you need to be creative to reach your goal.

ENABLE CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION

You master your communication skills during this intensive expierence. Together on close space, with one goal in mind and a ticking clock you have to communicate effectively.

COMMUNICATE AND WORK EFFECTIVELY IN A TEAM

To act effectively in short time period, you have to master agile project management.

MANAGE COMPLEX AND AGILE PROJECTS

Focus your energy/resources on the important things. You have limited time and budget to create a company, so you have to focus on your target group and meaningful products/services.

UNDERSTAND CUSTOMER-CENTERED DEVELOPMENT

With creativity is a small budget sufficient to marketing your company. To promote your company in this short time frame you have to master digital marketing.

MASTER DIGITAL MARKETING
 

FLOW

The Lift is structured in the pre-sequence "Heat" and the four main sequences "Envision", "Plan", "Build" and "Run".

Each sequence is constructed as follows:

_theoretical impulse taught by the coaches
_moderated and self-organized implementation in teams
_feedback and reflection on individual and team level

SEQUENCE 0: HEAT

This sequence actually is no part of the 24 hour Lift itself. It is a pre-sequence to make sure all team members are in some way acquainted to each other once the Lift begins. It consists of a mixture of upfront online social media interaction and on-site rapid teambuilding activities.

In case the team already exists (e.g. within a company) and it is used to working together, this sequence might even be skipped.

SEQUENCE I: ENVISION

The StartUp process starts with a creative phase of idea generation. Together with your team you come up with thoughts on new innovative business ideas, assessing them and starting market research based on your solution concepts.

SEQUENCE II: PLAN

In a second Phase, your team starts designing a business model that addresses all relevant aspects of your new company – your value proposition, infrastructure, customers, and finances. In Addition, you set up a project plan and assign tasks to your team members.

SEQUENCE III: BUILD

Now you put your project plan into action and execute every task that is needed to bring your business idea to life. You regularly report your status to your team and track your progress. Frequent feedback loops will help you to be flexible through your implementation.

SEQUENCE IV: RUN

Finally a new company is born. Yeah! Now you are on the real market, getting in touch with your real customers. Part of your project plan will cover your post-go-live activities, such as direct marketing, social media activities, advertising and analytics, as well as customer interviews etc. This phase will be filled with a lot of feedback and pivots on your way to compelling products and processes.
