16. Experiences
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
MINN is a learning journey where you will find an organic growth from the experience. Theories,
lessons and experiences will be mixed in a natural way. There, you will find a new way to
understand yourself and others, in order to lead yourself and others. Always helped by the power
of a team.

17. For me MINN has been a journey to find my secret
“super power”, all of us have at least one. It’s simple
but not easy. I’ve cried. I’ve laughed. I’ve felt alive
each sec- ond of my life, my only life. Now, together
with you, I’m ready to transform my real- ity creating
value and being the change we want to see in the
world.
MINN is the opportunity to make real projects you
believe on. It’s the oppor- tunity to acquire a
knowledge available in all aspects of your life;
professional, social, personal... It’s the platform to
make your projects grow to another level. Through
MINN you are able to spread the seeds of change to
make real the world you want to live in. And to do that,
it’s not necessary to be an extraor- dinary guy, just a
person belonging to a team with the same dream.

18. MINN has been for me an incredible learning journey that transforms completely the way I see the world and how I
interact with others. MINN is always taking be out of my comfort zone, always challenging me to create new things,
to impact in my organization by intrapreneurial actions. Taking risks to obtain results, because in MINN “we want
results!”. MINN transformed my view of theam performing and boosted my social innovation hidden interest. MINN
inspired me to inspire others to act.
MINN/ Team Academy is a radical team learning process to change the organizations from the action.

19. MINN helped us to develop a new product concept understanding better the environment and the new market
trends. Going through a Collaborative Design open process with different agents we had a wider view and insights
to design taking into account the real user needs and aspirations.
MINN is a hard kick in the ass to get you moving! More than just learning is a life changing experience.

20. Further
Information

21. Finnish Model
Our leaning method has been imported from Tiimiakatemia, the Entrepreneurship Centre of Excellence of the JAMK University
of Applied Sciences in Jyväskylä, Finland. They have more than 20 years of experience promoting team entrepreneurship.
Working in teams we learn by doing the skills and abilities we need to create and develop new projects and for being
entrepreneurs. You work, share goals, ideas, thoughts, experiences and learning 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.
Team learning
The key to personal development and entrepreneurship is constant interaction 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.
Real
companies
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 fulfill 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 different business realities and models that are working in
those environments, strengthen their international network and skills as well as learn from the different cultural reality as a
whole.
