Corporate Strategy Externship Mentored by THE Eric Ries

What if you could spot the next WeWork — or the next Costco — before everyone else did? This 4-week externship teaches you to trust that instinct with real analysis behind it.

You're making calls about companies all the time: where to spend your money, where to apply for jobs, where to commit years of your career. This externship gives you the lens to make those calls well. Working from Eric Ries's Incorruptible framework, you'll develop the skills to read between the lines of any organization: spotting the financial pressures that pull companies off course, evaluating governance structures that actually matter, and recognizing mission-drift before it becomes a headline.

You'll diagnose a famous corporate collapse, run real due diligence on a company you might actually want to work for, design an action plan, and share your insights with Eric Ries himself. By the end, you'll have the skills to size up any brand you buy from and every employer you consider. Whether you're evaluating job offers, considering a startup, or just trying to understand why companies you loved keep falling apart, these are the analytical skills that separate you from everyone else in the room.
