Continuum’s Innovation Fellowship

Posted by Chris Michaud

We’ve just launched a really interesting “Innovation Fellowship” with Pepsi, where innovative thinkers from different disciplines will work side-by-side with Pepsi’s most senior leaders to help them work through key business challenges using Continuum’s strategic design thinking and processes.

Working in small, cross-disciplinary teams with coaches, Continuum will be leading fellowship participants to develop actionable solutions to real-world design challenges driven by Pepsi’s strategic plans. The workshop series will culminate with participants presenting their work to members of Pepsi’s senior leadership team.

We’re accepting applications for the program until September 15th. Our “Innovation Fellowship” will begin a month later, on October 15, and will meet on Fridays for eight consecutive weeks. In addition to the opportunity to participate in the workshop, fellows will receive a $4,000 stipend to cover travel expenses.  The workshop will be held in three different locations including New York City, PepsiCo’s Purchase New York campus, and Continuum’s Boston office.

If you’re interested in receiving an application, contact innovationfellows@pepsico.com <mailto:innovationfellows@pepsico.com> . And be sure to check back here in the coming weeks to learn more about it.
