Paragon Leadership International,
a Novi-based corporate coaching and training outfit, is launching
Epprentice, where rising leaders put their minds together to solve
energy and food issues in the state of Michigan -- and have the
opportunity to have their ideas judged by some of the area's top
executives in that field.
On October 1, the Food Epprentice Experience will be held, focusing on
food safety, nutrition, and the agriculture economy. On October 15,
the Environment and Energy Epprentice Experience will take on energy
efficiency, sustainability, alternative energy, and energy economy. Two
teams will take on a challenge in each given topic -- such as designing
a social media plan for the WARM Training Center -- which will be judged by
top names in the field. The winning teams will be feted. "We're working
on some high visibility recognition," says Paragon's Diane Ring.
Ring says Paragon was motivated to develop Epprentice to take action on
what the group sees as "challenges to our region." As an example she
cites DTE Energy, a client since the firm's inception in
2001, which has a mandate to develop alternative energy while still
having to deliver electricity on the grid it currently operates. It is
onto issues like this that Paragon is hoping that Epprentice can shed
light.
Ring expects Epprentice days to be "high energy, very busy, very
intense days" with much "innovation, imagination and collaboration."
