Title:  From Idea to Dollars: Maximizing the economic and societal impact of your ideas.

  

How do successful entrepreneurs take an idea on the back of a cocktail napkin and transform it into a multi-million dollar business?

With a focus on the entrepreneurial side of innovation, this presentation will equip entrepreneurs and innovators of all types with the practical knowledge and resources necessary to bring their innovative concepts all the way from idea generation to making money. Entrepreneurial Innovation™ is where your creative ideas merge with strategic business planning to turn unique ideas into successful businesses.  We get to the core of what makes your ideas successful. 

We have all been created as creators. The creativity behind innovation and invention stems from pursuing our passions and interests.  As we learn how to see the world with a mind that is free to imagine without limitations, learn to recognize and understand the opportunities and issues at hand, and learn the practical steps of bringing our ideas through to fruition, the pursuits of what we are passionate about will have a remarkable impact on the lives of those around us, and those whose lives touch our pursuits.
