Intellectual property (IP) generation and protection have become essential components of entrepreneurial management. The nimble project case study examines students and professors from business, law, and engineering, faculties and a client who participated in a unique management training collaboration. Our qualitative research explores how multi-disciplinary teams working together from the inception of a business idea provide robust capacity for knowledge transfer and the development of IP literacy. Such collaboration develops resilience in both IP strategic skills development and the ability to respond to adversity. We identify four management learning outcomes related to the Nimble experience: 1) communication and knowledge exchange, 2) importance of IP literacy, 3) resilience, and 4) recognition of the professional differences between disciplines. We build new knowledge and context regarding the development of resilience and skills and the development of IP literacy through learning by doing."
