This workshop explores the notion of innovation in five stages and draws on tools and techniques to assist with the creativity element of new businesses.

Idea generation techniques are discussed with associated examples taken from innovative companies and products.

The environment for innovation is also explored – focussing on office space, workspace and the ‘third place’ as a source of inspiration for new ideas.
