About this Event
Great ideas don't happen by accident, they are systematically uncovered. This fast-paced, interactive workshop equips participants with practical tools to reframe everyday problems, bypass creative blocks, and generate high-potential business concepts.
Moving from a blank page to a viable business concept can feel overwhelming. In this hands-on session, participants will dive into the world of customer-centred design. You will learn how to identify real friction points, reframe challenges, and use rapid ideation techniques to generate ideas. We will then filter and prioritise those concepts to turn creative chaos into structured, actionable business opportunities.
