bio.t DISRUPT MBA

Are you out to disrupt your world, regeneratively? Are you an entrepreneur (or have an entrepreneurial mindset)?

Our signature bio.t Disrupt MBA program takes you through a strategic transformation process unlike any other MBA. It uses Nature’s disruptive design thinking. So you can disrupt your world, and make money.

  • You’re a disruptive entrepreneur, or change agent with an entrepreneurial mindset.

    You’re asking yourself: How do I go about the process of disrupting my world? How might I do it regeneratively? What steps do I take? Where do I start?

    You’re dismissive of the 20th century thinking that sits in most of the entrepreneurial / design thinking / Agile playbooks.

    • A clear roadmap + blueprint guide to follow?

    • A personal guided journey that meets you where you’re at?

    • Cutting-edge biotech, biomimicry, bio-materials, bio-processing case studies?

    • Real-life working examples and tips from someone who’s been in the arena?

    • The ability to network with other disruptors like yourself?

    • A price affordable option, packed with value?

    • And some goddamn positivity, inspiration and fun!?

  • "Melissa is a holistic thinker. She combines what are typically thought of as 'fluffy' concepts with quite a 'hard' edge of frameworks and outputs. It’s magic combo. She provides our Masters students with a way to see, and move through the complexity of a system. She gives order to the disorder and gets people unstuck. This is the key to momentum. It's awesome!"
