Reflections from Entrepreneurial Finance with Les Charm at Babson SEE Program 34 (The Paint-Pen, Inc. Case by HBS)
- Look don't compute. - Leverage technology that fits your pedagogy. - The context (industry) matters when reviewing a case on finance. - Time outs are used for teaching moments. - Don't leave at the door what you already know (avoid shutting down when you hear finance). - Hold the statements at arms length (no excel)...what do you see? - Round off the numbers. - Leverage small group sessions after obtaining agreement that the class doesn't like the class. - Don't let your student dance around the questions. - Do not use the word accounting. - You know more than you think. - Entrepreneurial finance is not really about the numbers...it is about the context. You have to understand the industry. - Pronouns get in the way. Pronouns cloud discussions.
Reflections on Entrepreneurial Finance Session with Les Charm (Teaching NanoGene Technologies, Inc. Case by HBS)
- When do you bring the norm to the table? - What perspetive is the norm crafting? - Let's discuss divorce...yes, let's... - Context in the audience is really important. - Sharing is important to global growth. Does IP warrant sharing? - Fail a few times...if you aren't failing a bunch of times, you are not trying hard enough. - If you start behind the eight ball, it takes extraordinary talent to make up the difference. Don't get behind the eight ball...and you have about 33 seconds to grab (insert word of choice's) attention. - Les Charm rocks. I think he is an iMADuian.
Reframe the question around you and make sure you are teaching something the students need. Fit the market that you are going after (from a style standpoint).
