Innovate Like a Startup Founder

Innovation and adaptation is essential for sustainable success. They're embodied in giant success stories like Atlassian and Canva, but also in startups, social enterprises and small businesses solving real-world problems. So, how do you come up with your big idea and bring it to life, quickly and effectively?  

In this short course from SSE and TAFE NSW, you’ll get a rapid introduction to the entrepreneurial methods and tools that founders use to develop innovative products and services. You’ll learn how to apply these tools in your own context.

And you’ll work alongside a diverse group of like-minded people and connect with a network of founders, innovators and change-makers from across the state.

This course is for you if you want to:

• Bring your entrepreneurial ideas to life 
• Supercharge your business through innovation
