Entrepreneurship is the art of recognition and exploitation of opportunities. Transforming opportunities into entrepreneurial ventures requires that individuals not only possess knowledge, but that they also have the cognitive abilities that allow them to formulate, value and exploit that knowledge.
This training will take participants through the process of formulating the framework of the entrepreneurial venture, from innovative idea creation to early start-up activities and acquisition of the first clients for a new business. Central to this process is the iterative creation and fine-tuning of a business plan, and understanding the uses of the business plan for management of key activities and for attracting outside investors.
