Taking A Big Idea and Making It a Reality

December 10, 2018 by admin

Big ideas, or just good ideas, are worth more than a dime a dozen, but how much more?  Social entrepreneurs must form teams, test their ideas, raise funds, and develop and execute business plans.  The session will explore current research and thinking about:

  1.  Where good ideas come from
  2.  How entrepreneurs convert ideas into action
  3.  Successful entrepreneur habits and attributes, and
  4.  How our ecosystem supports or undermines us
