From Ideas to Action: A Hands-On Innovation Workshop

​Most early ideas won’t make it. The key is gathering early evidence on which ones might succeed before you spend months finding out the hard way.

​This hands-on workshop is for entrepreneurs and corporate innovators with an idea for a startup, product, or problem worth solving. You’ll find what could truly set your idea apart and gain clarity on the steps to decide whether to push forward, pivot, or move on.

​What to Expect

• ​Add structure to your idea so you can effectively communicate it

• ​Generate possibilities you hadn’t considered, with help from others in the room

• ​Analyze desirability, feasibility, and viability to see where your effort will pay off

• ​Leave with concrete next steps for testing your idea and a plan to make the most of Startup Week
