Sonja Put of True Value Innovator shares her journey: “When I was studying at Stanford, I realized it was essential to instill in my child, Dorian—then still a toddler—the mindset needed to create his own future. As I watched him grow, I saw firsthand what we learned at Stanford: children are naturally design thinkers!

Research shows that our current school system hasn’t yet adapted to prepare children for a future-ready mindset in this disruptive era. 

This was an eye-opener for me: I realized I didn’t need to teach my son the right mindset, but rather help him retain and strengthen the mindset he already has.”

True Value Innovators hopes to empower the next generation with the skills and mindset needed to thrive in the age of AI.

Additionally, we sometimes seek input from children on real business cases. The ideas they generate are remarkable! This experience has strengthened our commitment to including diverse perspectives—children, the elderly, and others—in our innovation teams.
