To your Success...

The basic cornerstones of success can be defined in 8 words. In our eternal quest for success, we always concentrate on major issues, neglecting - conveniently - the smaller steps.

Without these small steps, we can't lay a strong foundation on which to construct our castle of life success.

The key words are 1.Work, 2.Focus, 3.Persist, 4.Ideas, 5.Good, 6.Push, 7.Serve and 8.Passion.

IDEAS Workshop

Learn the Innovation Development Early Assessment System IDEAS to assess the opportunity, the risks and the complexity of commercialising your business idea. This workshop is intended for individuals or businesses that have an idea for a new product, process or service. The workshop is interactive but your idea can remain confidential.

IDEAS can be used in several ways including to provide insight for fine tuning an idea into a stronger commercial proposition, re-evaluating an idea that has been modified or as a framework for presenting an idea to people who may be able to help you to commercialise it.

It is a structured methodology that uses a comprehensive set of standardised assessment criteria
It is aimed at early assessment when there is not much tangible data available.
It is designed to identify ideas with genuine commercial merit
It is designed to assist with mapping the strategic alternatives for commercialisation

The IDEAS method has been developed and is delivered by Associate Professor Jack English from the Australian Innovation Research Centre.
