• Start to shape the core of the business plan and roadmap to get your idea off the ground

This programme will be delivered in-person over two sessions including the following content:

Idea development: This workshop begins with an overview of the innovation process, from idea to commercialisation. You will be introduced to the “power moves” principle that will underpin this programme. Receive peer feedback to help select your most promising ideas, and using tools presented in the workshop you will begin to develop those ideas.

Minimise risk, move faster, spend less: Review how you might test your ideas quickly and effectively to accelerate your progress and create a Minimal Viable Product outline for your idea, ready for testing. Carry out surface and test assumptions about your ideas. Get fresh perspectives from your peers and draw out the ‘known unknowns’ and identify actions to test your idea in reality. Work through a step-by-step process to help with innovation decision making and shape the headlines of your business case.

Make your ideas happen: Work with your peers to review the key barriers in the way and factors to accelerate innovation and create an action plan. Identify actions that will make significant impact to your innovation process and create an innovation roadmap to build clarity and momentum.
