Ideation
“Everyone who’s ever taken a shower has an idea. It’s the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference.” Nolan Bushnell
This course is designed to help participants develop creative and innovative ideas for solutions they care about. Solutions which are relevant to the world we live in today and in the future, but more importantly, solutions that will bring out the passions for each founder, creator, and innovator.
Think it, ink it, say it, do it! these are the words of Laura Alderson.It is a difficult undertaking to come up with something completely novel. However, do we all have to invent? Sometimes, we don’t necessarily have to invent something completely new and sometimes, we just have to invest something completely novel. Either way, you will need to approach the process with a strategy, you will need to know when you have just had an aha! Moment, and you will need to know a few strategies to help you to just ideate the right way.
