Training Course Overview
In the 21st century global economy, both personal and national prosperity hinges on the ability to innovate across all economic sectors. Entrepreneurial skills are crucial for achieving successful innovation. It's important to distinguish between invention—the creation of new methods—and innovation—the effective implementation and monetization of these methods.
Historically, rewards have often favored innovators who can transform ideas into thriving businesses rather than solely inventors. This Entrepreneurial Skills training course will equip individuals with the foundation to identify and assess opportunities and, critically, to see them through to fruition as successful ventures.
Innovation represents the forefront of business evolution, where, akin to Darwinian principles, the ideas that endure and thrive are those best adapted to their environment.
