Why should I attend?
You need better tools
You’ll learn key tools and processes that are scientifically proven to result in business growth, but that hardly any entrepreneurs or innovators take advantage of. And because it’s a practical workshop, and not just theory, you’ll work on your business in the session.
You’re not laser focused on your customer
Learn a simple process to define your customer, what their problem is, and (crucially!) what they will pay for. Most businesses try to do too much, for too many customer types. Learn how to laser focus.
You don’t have a growth process
You’ll come away with a clear, easy-to-follow, six-step process that you can apply to your own idea or product that results in MUCH faster growing businesses.
You don’t deeply understand your customers
Learn key questions that unlock customers telling you the problems they need solved. Most entrepreneurs do this incorrectly. We'll teach you how to do this the RIGHT way!
You’re not growing fast enough
Most businesses grow a lot more slowly than the founders predict. We'll discuss TWO clear reasons, and how you can avoid them, giving you the best chance for growth.
Your innovation is inefficient
Keep building things that your customer is indifferent about? Whether you're an entrepreneur building your first business, or you work in a larger organisation and responsible for new products, learn skills about how to innovate efficiently.
Am I eligible?
Absolutely! If you live in Cardiff, or your business is based here, you’re eligible.
This workshop is aimed at those businesses that are already running, and feel like they haven’t quite nailed it yet. However, if you’re thinking of starting up, you can also benefit by learning these key skills so that you don’t make those mistakes when you start up.
If, however, you’re already comfortably growing very quickly, or you’re a freelancer/consultant who is at capacity, and calmly fulfilling all your orders, you may want to skip this one.
