In the interest of helping you avoid common entrepreneurial and investment mistakes –thus help you own mistakes that at the very least are new— join Prof. Breva in a conversation about what innovation, if anything, may be useful to you as we start the post-pandemic reconstruction. HINT: we’ve had enough disruption already, no need to keep at it.
Attendees will entertain three ideas that should be straightforward but the way we went about innovation and entrepreneurship before the pandemic has made look contrarian:
The organizations that survive are the ones that fail to fail. Failing fast does not prepare you for that.
Spending little by little is a tried and tested method to waste money without noticing. So-called lean startup methods contribute innovation waste.
You can set up a process to test tens of ideas for the capital it would take you to fail predictably at one, and in so doing make doing well and doing good affordable.
Join us for a conversation about what it takes to conceive, invent, design, plan, de-risk and ultimately build organizations that use technology as a tool to solve problems that matter sustainably. That is doing well and doing good.
