Got a great idea? Then it will take careful planning of all the details to bring it into reality. Planning the practicalities and routes to an end ‘product’ often brings to light unexpected opportunities and threats, allowing you to develop a more successful final output.

By the end of this session participants will have:

  • Applied the canvas to their research
  • Received peer feedback on their canvas
  • Studied the steps of a formal business plan
