SUMMARY:Webinar: Surviving the Valley of Death
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Cameron Johns\nOrganisation: Impact Innovation Group \nThe journey between the discovery of an idea to a commercial product or service can be long and peppered with pitfalls – AKA the valley of death. \nMany small businesses hold back from investing in new ideas because they fear the return won’t be cost effective for them and will affect their hard-earned viability. Starting a new business around a novel idea is not for the faint-hearted either. \nBut launching an innovative technology can be exciting\, especially when your ideas draw the attention of your first few customers and the feedback is positive. \nThe challenge\, however\, lies in how to take these early wins and turn them into sustainable outcomes. Understanding your market and the value your innovation holds in your customer’s world is key to building a successful business model around your idea. \nIn this webinar\, Cameron Johns\, Innovation Strategist at Impact Innovation Group\, will explore the adoption of new ideas and what it takes to build momentum to make it across this commercialisation chasm. \nAbout the Presenter \nCameron Johns develops strategies for meeting the rapidly changing marketplace for all Australian enterprises at all stages of the business life-cycle.
