The entrepreneurial journey is filled with ideas, obstacles and problems. How do we know which ideas are best? How can we find the right solution? In dealing with big, complex problems — any problem, really — our first solution is rarely a perfect one. So how do we find the right one? The answer lies in Prototyping: processes around quickly testing ideas, learning from those tests, iterating and repeating so we can build our confidence as we find our next best step forward.
In this hands-on Social Innovation Hub CREATIVE STUDIO workshop, we will learn:
- What is a prototype
- The mindset of prototyping and the opportunity of failure
- Some formal approaches and processes for failing successfully
