LCF Grad Futures: From Why to How, Exploring Business Models
Advertisement
Turn your ideas into real ventures! Learn how to shape your ‘why’ and test them with the triple test: desirability, viability & feasibility.
About this Event

This session is only for London College of Fashion students. It is aligned to your Graduate Futures start up and freelance journey.

This session is part of our Enterprise Challenge journey – the perfect starting point if you’re considering entering our annual competition to win funding for your creative project. In this workshop, you’ll explore how to move from a spark of an idea (“your why”) to building a business model that works in practice. We’ll introduce the triple test of desirability, viability, and feasibility to help you understand what makes an idea valuable to customers, sustainable in the market, and achievable with the resources you have. Through guided activities and discussion, you’ll learn how to connect purpose with practical planning, giving you tools to shape your business concept with clarity and confidence. Your journey starts here!
