This course combines the entrepreneurship-based skills and managing innovation techniques to the next level, by developing an innovation-based business plan to set out the technical and commercial feasibility of an innovation. Establishing new ventures that are innovative within existing or new organisations is the aim of this course. It is a balanced combination of theory and practical experience. The course is constructed around the identification of a possible new venture that has significant elements of innovation. The focus is on some unique innovation developed by creative problem-solving processes. This innovation can be technical, strategic or service delivery in a business or in some social or public sector organization. The innovation needs to be first critically evaluated both technically and financially to ascertain its feasibility based on the available resources. This is followed by the development and presentation of an entrepreneurial business plan (EBP) for this new venture.
