Oscar Garcia MarracoInnovation Director at Hettich
“Aini HommaService Innovation designer atVolkswagen Group
Thanks to MINN I believe that close collaboration and intrapreneurial attitude will transform our businesses and ways of working. MINN taught me the impor-tance of researching and asking why: taking time to find real problems to come uo with the right answers. Both in Service Design as well as cultural change projects. Is a learning field where you can share ideas, experiment and develop with the hep of feedback. Then you can transfer best practices to your team and organisation

Through the constant active learning you become more aware of the necessity of changing the things we observe and you focus into action.We own everything that happened to us, these experiences are our stories and MINN process is a story worth sharing and owning.

FinnishModel
Our leaning method has been imported from Tiimiakatemia, the Entrepre-neurship Centre of Excellence of the JAMK University of Applied Sciences in Jyväskylä, Finland. They have more than 20 years of experience promoting team entrepeneurship.
TeamLearning
Working in teams we learn by doing the skills and abilities we need to cre-ate and develope new projects and for being entrepeneurs. You work, share goals, ideas, thoughts, experiences and learnings with your teammates, developing together yourselves and the whole company.
The outcome of the process is that your future learning won’t be conditioned to contact expert teacher and you will learn mainly from your teammates.
RealCompanies
The key to personal development and entrepreneurship is constant inter-action with the real world: creating a real company and working with real clients on real projects. In Mondragon Team Academy any of the learners is part of a real company. Being part of a real company is an important instrument for entrepreneurs because it allows you to do real projects and being in a real world.
The learners take the lead creating team companies, meanwhile the team coach primarily supports and promotes the process rather than managing it.
The best way for being entrepreneur is to develop your ideas and skills in those topics close to your passion. When you are working to become true your passion you will be able not to give up and fullfill your dreams.
As a learner when you are focused on your passion you will be happy to read as much as possible about it, to attend as much events related to the topic as possible, to contact as much companies as possible and being able to contact easily with new customers. Your courage will increase and your self-confidence will rise with each business project.
Passion=Learner
Being part of Mondragon Team Academy means to be global citizen and to understand we are living in a connected world which we belong to. The companies need professional innovators with a global vision. All learners in Mondragon Team Academy experience some kind of learning journeys in any of their programs, so we undertake three international learning journeys.
In all the learning journeys the learners develop big understanding of dif-ferent business models that are working in those environments creating a big picture about what is going on in there.
