Develop the critical skills to translate ideas to outcomes
Turning ideas into profitable ventures — entrepreneurship and commercialisation — is not just about start-ups and digital technologies. Thousands of Australian small businesses are thriving because they’ve adopted innovation as a growth strategy driver.
But having a clever idea isn’t enough. You need the right business model and a clear value proposition to lift it from the drawing board and launch it onto the market.
If you’ve got fresh ideas that might translate into competitive-edge, value-adding innovation, this free half-day workshop will help you determine if they’re likely to become viable ventures.
