The Business Model Canvas of Osterwalder has been shown to be a great business analytics tool for companies of any size. It looks at the business value in the context of the particular economic environment it exists, examining nine specific topics that make up the value that the entity creates. We'll give a brief overview of the Canvas and work through it with your projects or with a sample case study if its more convenient. Make it a working session as best we can. See you at the Accelerator. For more information: www.businessmodelgeneration.com |

According to a USA Today article, entrepreneurs are more likely to pray and/or meditate than the rest of the population: 32% say they meditate and 34% say they “look up to the Lord.” The benefits of meditation include lower blood pressure, more energy, greater creativity and improved concentration, more confidence, vitality, and peacefulness, and many more. This workshop is participatory and fun. No experience necessary. Enlightenment not guaranteed. Blog: twobitguru.com Twitter: @twobitguru |

Who Do You Know—How Effective is Your Entrepreneurial Social Capital? By Drew Fleck (Andrew M. G. Fleck, PhD) As entrepreneurs, who we know plays a critical role in our venture creation process and the probability of our success. We draw on advice, support, knowledge, and help from many different people in our social networks. How we use this social capital can provide us better access to financial capital, resources, novel information, necessary knowledge, and trusted feedback. Consciously assessing our entrepreneurial social capital can help us weave more productive networks, enhance our entrepreneurial expertise, and increase our competitive advantage. In this participative session, discuss how to evaluate your own entrepreneurial social capital so that you can more effectively weave your social networks for greater success. |
