How To Come Up With An Innovative Business Idea

​

Where do innovative business ideas come from? Are they that 'lightbulb moment' that is often talked about? Or does innovation come from something else?

 

The pressure to create something new as an entrepreneur can be paralyzing—sometimes we don’t know where to start, or we feel overwhelmed with too many ideas. In this interactive workshop, we'll discuss strategies for generating novel business ideas. We'll explore the concept of the adjacent possible as a way to expand capacity for innovation. We'll also learn how to narrow down and test options to avoid choice overload. This session is perfect for anyone eager to think more innovatively - not just for entrepreneurs!

"We brought Baillie in to run an entrepreneurial skills session at LSE Generate, the entrepreneurship centre at LSE. We wanted to have a workshop around ideation and coming up with business ideas early in the semester for the new students. We had such a great turnout of new students, returning students, and alumni who were all really interested in her topic, and the participation levels and feedback were amazing. Baillie introduced lots of accessible, interesting and useful theories, and facilitated so many conversations and practical implementation methods among the cohort. I had a lot of people tell me they didn’t expect they would feel so comfortable talking with other people in the session!”
