Syllabus
- Week 1 - Think
We start at the beginning with your big idea and where it comes from: your everyday experience and known sources of innovation as described by Peter Drucker. - Week 2 - Listen
This second phase of the entrepreneurial lifecycle encourages you to take the big idea you’vethought about and solicit feedback from the people whose problems you’re trying to solve. - Week 3 - Plan
Strategy, the art and science of being different than your competition, is the next element we introduce, based on Michael Porter’s work. - Week 4 - Clarify
In this module, we coach you on continuing to refine your big idea and beginning to communicate it clearly to a wider audience. - Week 5 - Support
To make your big idea into a reality, you’ll need the personal, professional, and financialresources we discuss in this module. - Week 6 - Iterate
This final step of the entrepreneurial lifecycle outlines a method to continue thinking, listening, planning, clarifying, and supporting your big idea. - Week 6 - Peer Assessment (Optional)
Create a pitch for your Big Idea, then give and receive feedback. - Week 6 - Reverse Pitches (Optional)
