Who can it help?
Visionary companies who take innovation seriously. The ones who are forward thinking and entrepreneurial
Large businesses
Corporations and enterprises most often have either very peculiar business/design/growth/communication problems that need “atypical” ideation and out of the box solutions. This is a forum where your associates get back into a simple innovation environment.
Early stage ventures and start-ups
Fresh start-ups, early-stage ventures will benefit from bright new ideas and hacks for their design, branding, communication and even marketing problems, especially with ideators who are tomorrow’s consumers and venture designers who are entrepreneurs first.
Social ventures and not for profits
Social enterprises must effectively market their products and services to customers, donors to sustain and grow their operations. Today impact needs to demonstrate marketability. Young designers guided by venture designers could unlock grassroot innovations.
Government
The governments play probably the most defining and impactful role in guiding and shaping the destiny of the planet, the economy, communities and quality of life. And needless to say that they also face some of the most challenging issues and problems. This needs creative ideas, entrepreneurial solutions, design thinking all of which can help the government in discovering better solutions. And what can be better and fresher than campus where young inventive minds can be guided to solve government problems or design for impact.
“Out of box solutions are needed for out of syllabus questions in a business’s life – be it a large corporation or a start-up"
