Co-Innovate Journeys - Innovate to Grow

Are you running a London based small business and need inspiration and guidance to grow? Co-Innovate has appointed Goldsmiths University of London to run two days’ workshop on Growing Your Business and on Product and Service Innovation. The workshops are free and start on 15th May. So sign up immediately to take your place with other like-minded entrepreneurs.

Day 1 – Grow Your Business

The day one workshop provides a comprehensive understanding of the critical areas for a successful business. Businesses will create effective strategies to enhance their business model, attract new customers, confidently approach investors, and promote a stronger brand. With a robust foundation in these essential elements, attendees create a platform to achieve sustainable growth and development over time. This workshop lays the foundations for the Day 2 workshop by ensuring participants reflect on all aspects of their business, and start to think about new product and service development/enhancement.

Day 2 – Product and Service Innovation

Demonstrating Innovatory thinking and methods, visual thinking, beginnings of prototyping narratives of products, consideration of audience and context of new products and services, developing an innovative mindset and creative approaches to innovation. Encouraging prototyping of ideas for an agile approach.

The focus of the workshop is the generation of the possibilities of new products or services, or existing ones into both a short- and longer-term context.  The aim is to open a wider view of the context and develop potential opportunities in response to that context. Attendees will leave the workshop with clear ideas for new product and service innovation.
