Intrapreneur

We are what we do

Enterprise Garage is a boutique consultancy whose goal is to breath some of Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurial and innovative spirit into your company. The passion, the love, the desire to make a dent in the universe drives people. And we can show you how Silicon Valley does it.

We conduct workshops on Intrapreneurship, Foresight Mindset, Creativity, Silicon Valley Mindset, Innovation, Gamification, Design Thinking, and more.

Foresight Mindset is a practice that allows you to detect new trends earlier and with more confidence. Creativity is a mindset that can be learned. Innovation is not what others do, but where you can lead. Intrapreneurship is a culture that you can create. Gamification is when work becomes more fun and engaging. These are just some of the tools that your company needs to be ready for the challenges of the 21st century.

With a deep knowledge of the mindset of Silicon Valley and what makes it successful, we work with you to be more of that in your ecosystem and culture.

Inspiring & Enabling

From Fortune 500 companies to startups, we have worked with many of them.

Companies that seek to create an innovation culture and foster the entrepreneurial spirit are often looking to Silicon Valley to find ideas, solutions, and blueprints. Given challenges such as digital transformation and exponential trends coming at them, the urgency increases. This is where we can assist and inspire and enable those companies to succeed.

Because we worked in large corporations, were intrapreneurs and innovators, did academic research in technology and economics, mentored and advised startups, organized innovation events, and are entrepreneurs on several continents. Those experiences give us a unique perspective on the challenges that corporations face in an ever faster changing world. In a world, where disruptive innovation can come out of nowhere.

The only thing that does not change is that change is normal. Not the big eat the small, but the faster the slower ones. Often lessons from startups apply to large enterprises and vice versa. We are a connector between these worlds.

This is why we can feel with small and large corporations. This makes us a unique partner for working with you on the challenges of the 21st century.

Mario

I’ve been living in Silicon Valley since 2001. I am researching technology trends, write books and consult companies on topics such as Innovation, Silicon Valley Mindset, Foresight Mindset, Automotive, Artificial Intelligence, Creativity, Intrapreneurship. For many years I worked at SAP as development manager and innovation strategist. Now I help companies how they can apply the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit from Silicon Valley in their organizations, to be more innovative and discover trends and tipping points earlier and influence them. I give keynotes about these topics and conduct workshops on Foresight Mindset, AI, Innovation, Silicon Valley-Mindset, Automotive, Creativity, and Intrapreneurship. I also look at signals of emerging technology trends and how they impact society, politics, or employment. I also host and meet delegations from other countries and bring them contact with people and companies in Silicon Valley.

Books

Some of my last books (since 2016) were I am currently working on a book titled Future Angst, in which I analyze the current situation and reasons for the nature of the debate in Europe in general and the German-speaking world in particular on new technologies and developments, which may see the dangers and risks but not the opportunities and possibilities. Keywords describing the situation include GDPR, killer robots, ethical problems, BER, lack of broadband internet or the diesel scandal. I also try to point out the potential negative effects of this behavior and attitude and possible solutions.
