INTREPRENEURSHIP
Bringing lean start-up thinking into your organisation.
The Intrepreneurship programme taps into the essence of what it takes to be an entrepreneur, and harnesses it for the success of the organisation.
It follows the outline in the book The Innovator’s Method, and localizes it to the South African context.
We answer questions such as: How do we know whether this idea is worth pursuing? Have we found the right solution? What is the best business model for the new offering.
