Creativity is a boundary pusher while practicality keeps the boundaries up firmly. How then does one balance ambitious ideas with business constraints? How can one assess if there is a market for new bold ideas? When should one make the difficult decision to abandon an idea?
This fireside chat - featuring Felix Lee from ADPList Jamie Lim from Scanteak Chef-Restauranteur Violet Oon and Alyssa Woo from SPH - explores how to navigate creative ambition with the realities of the business world to turn your "what if" ideas into "what’s next".
This panel is organised as part of Thrive@Libraries 2025 NLB's annual learning festival designed for working adults and is part of the day-long Thrive@Libraries Festival programming on 16 August 2025.
