Design Economics

This session is about simple economics to lever project effectiveness, and to maximize returns in an entrepreneurial context. It focuses on issues that are not taught in core ID curriculum but are essential in venture development.

The audience will learn:

  1. How to engage in BOM & Bea development as a form of internal communication to earn respect and know where you are.
  2. How to create a ‘microplan’ to communicate clearly with financial experts and investors – two different things.
  3. How to shift your qualitative language to persuasive quantitative data.
  4. How to retain your sanity through an unfamiliar and usually exhausting process.
