Using the Business Model Canvas as Your Road Map to Innovation
 
To remain competitive in today's business environment, companies of all sizes need to embrace the kind of entrepreneurial spirit associated with a startup. To have an entrepreneurial mindset means being in touch with your customers, being agile, seeking out new opportunities, being innovative, and most importantly being willing to take calculated risks. Kurt Heiar will give you some tips and tools on how to create new opportunities by spotting emerging technology trends, diving into new markets or developing new products. Kurt is a University of Iowa faculty lecturer, lead Instructor for UI’s Venture School Program, and serial entrepreneur, focusing in the bioinformatics, pharmaceutical, and medical service industries.
