Not just any
next step.
Yours.
For many capable, motivated people, the next step feels wrong. A "regular" job or going it alone as self-employed may not be what you want to do until retirement. You are looking for work that truly fulfils you. Perhaps founding a company in the right team is exactly that – find out.
Looking for the Journey? Then you are in the right place. We ask you to take the quiz first. In 3 minutes it shows you whether this event is right for you. The Journey is for people who want to know in which work environment they thrive. Some results fit it particularly well, others less so. You get your result PDF in any case. It is yours, whatever you decide afterwards.

Founding is not for everyone – but perhaps
for you.
Many people believe they are not cut out for founding a company. But they are asking the wrong question. It is not you who should found, but YOU TOGETHER. To find out whether founding might suit you and which team you need, innovating.work offers a programme in partnership with NEXT MANNHEIM. We start with you.
Not: What is your idea?
But: Who are you
as a person?
Of course, founding is about successful companies. That is why most start-up advisers begin with the business idea. But most start-ups fail because of the team. So we begin with you – because whether entrepreneurship suits you depends on who you have become through your path so far.
We begin with one question: Which work environment do you need to unfold your full potential? The answer later leads you to people who fit you – and perhaps to a solution we urgently need today.
How it works –
three simple steps
Just you, seven unusual questions and a result meant to show you new options.
The QUIZ – answer 7 questions in about 3 minutes, no wrong answers.
You answer seven questions about how you work and think. No commitment at all. In the end you know which of the six paradigms fits you – and what that means for your future work. Your result also shows you how well the Journey fits you.
The JOURNEY – understand the potential within you.
In our Journey pilot, a 2-day workshop spread over 3 sessions (half day / full day / half day), you find out, without obligation, what your quiz result means for you and which work environment gives you energy. We also clarify what to look out for in your next step – whether founding or a new job.
The MATCHING – meet the right people for your journey.
Over three days you meet people who are searching just like you. Together you clarify expectations and ground rules for working together – and find a topic worth getting up for in the morning.
Why the quiz first?
You invest two days only if it is worth it for you.
Those who have reflected on themselves beforehand bring more to the conversations.
The quiz is free, and the PDF stays with you.
“Before taking part, I felt that my life was steering me – not the other way round. I was dissatisfied with my professional and private life, although I had everything that fitted the conventional definition of success. In a way, it now felt like ‘coming home’.”
The next step - for you.
This question has occupied our team for many years: how do you find the work that makes your eyes light up? Most people have not found it yet. If you want your eyes to light up, the quiz is the next concrete step.
Perhaps it is not about the next job but about a task that fulfils you.
Curious whether the Journey fits you?
The quiz takes 3 minutes.
Your result is yours, in any case.
