Invest NI Announce Free Strategic Design Workshop

Invest NI has announced a new free, half-day workshop on Strategic Design on Wednesday 21 June.

In this workshop, Professor Peter Kelly, an internationally recognised expert in business high growth and entrepreneurship, will:

• challenge perceived ideas about developing a business opportunity

• provide practical guidance on how to test, validate and prototype your ideas in preparation for potential commercialisation

Transforming a good idea into a valuable commercial business offering is a design process. At its core is opportunity prototyping.

Opportunity prototyping uses 'design thinking' and:

• identifies how to create a compelling solution to a customer's problem

• improves your ability to explore different possibilities (creativity)

• clarifies the way forward (innovation)

Through a combination of practical exercises and case studies, this workshop will deliver an overview on how successful companies and entrepreneurs operate, and give you first-hand experience in the process of designing and prototyping a commercial offering.

The event is due to be held at Malone House in Belfast.
