Becoming an entrepreneur can be exciting and daunting. The path from product concept to market can be demanding and fraught with barriers to success. This course will guide attendees on the process of designing and bringing adaptive products to market. This writer’s ongoing seven year experience with the AquaEve urinal becoming a commercial product will be utilized as a case example to illustrate the application of the principles and strategies in the course.
Please note: Jayne Knowlton will be illustrating points with made up scenarios. She has no knowledge of the brands' practices mentioned in this presentation.
