Idea Workshop: Ecosystem Mapping
Are you tinkering away on a new product or service? Understand your customer, product and market to build smarter and go faster.
Good ideas fail all the time. By identifying a sustainable marketplace or segment of customers, you can correctly forecast business goals and ensure there are enough people out there interested in purchasing your solution.
This workshop will give you a mix of theory and tools to question your biggest assumptions and plan your first steps as an entrepreneur. Upon completion of this workshop you will:
- Understand the types of assumptions that matter right now
- Visualise the ecosystem you're operating in
- Identify the early opportunities in your ecosystem
- Highlight who you need to engage first and why
Whether you're planning to submit an application into the I2N Pre-Accelerator or just want to build an entrepreneurial mindset, this workshop will demystify your assumptions and support you to understand the world from your potential customers point-of-view.
