Event Details

Colleagues,


We are most fortunate to have frog founder and Strategy Director visit Uganda, and giving a hands on workshop with developers, start-up entrepreneurs, senior managers.  You have probably heard about workshops that cost hundreds of dollars to attend.  This is one of them - except that Ravi is offering his services to you FOC.  You don't want to miss this!

In this workshop, we will learn and practice parts of the frogThink methodology, a collaborative, lateral thinking-based approach to generation of innovative product and service ideas. We will apply this approach to mobile money, exploring a few focus areas to inspire creative new ideas.

 

Ravi Chhatpar is the founder and Strategy Director of frog Shanghai. He came to China five years ago to start frog’s Asian operations, after originally spending a few years at frog New York. He is currently in the process of moving to Johannesburg to build frog’s innovation offering in Africa. 

 

His primary focus is innovation strategy – bringing strategic thinking to multinational clients who are looking for disruptive opportunities for growth and transformation. As a leader of frog‘s innovation strategy discipline, much of his work emphasizes enriching frog’s intellectual capital and innovation methodologies. He draws particular inspiration from immersion in new consumer and business cultures, and spends much of his time traveling the world as a result. 

 

His client portfolio includes broad experience with Fortune 100s and global multinationals across verticals, including consumer electronics, technology, mobile, consumer goods, automotive, healthcare, media, and financial services.

 

He speaks regularly on topics related to innovation, growth, and design management at conferences and forums worldwide, teaches at business schools and universities, and has authored publications for the Harvard Business Review and the Design Management Institute.

 

Before frog, Ravi split his career between Tokyo and New York, working at start-ups, as a management consultant, and in private equity.

 

Ravi has an AB in Biology and Economics from Harvard University.

Hive Colab



Hive Colab is an open, collaborative, community owned, work environment for young tech entrepreneurs to focus on projects, access the internet, have a quiet professional environment to develop their ideas in, hold events and generally collaborate. It is an innovation hub, similar to what our friends and colleagues are doing with the iHub in Nairobi.

It is a space for nascent application developers to register as freelancers, if they are looking for paying projects that people need to be done around the world. An exclusive list of project and clients available through the pan-African consortium of incubators, AfriLabs. Participant projects will remain wholly owned by their creators, although there there will be access to a network of investors looking to cherry pick some of the more promising ideas for investment, also through AfriLabs.
