    United Nations Conference on Trade and Development on Entrepreneurs and MSMEs as Powerful Agents to Achieve the SDGs

     

    Date: Tuesday, March 31, 2020, at 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM EST

     

    Entrepreneurs and MSMEs are often the recipients of policies and measures but they can be powerful agents of change especially if they receive the proper awareness and tools to take advantage of the trillions in business opportunities associated with the SDGs while providing socially and environmentally sound solutions to the world's most pressing issues.

     

    The session panelist:

     

    Chantal Line Carpentier. CHIEF, UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON TRADE AND

    Meet the Author – "Where to Play: 3 Steps for Discovering your Most Valuable Market Opportunities (the New Addition to the Lean Toolset)"

     

    Date: Wednesday, April 1, 2020, Time: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EST

     

    The Lean Toolset for innovation and startups is widely used. However, the current tools do not support you in identifying and prioritizing new opportunities for growth (in established firms) and for identifying and prioritizing your opportunities when launching your start-up. In this webinar, Marc Gruber will introduce the "Market Opportunity Navigator" from the book "Where to Play" (co-authored with Sharon Tal). This new business tool has recently been adopted for the Lean Toolset by Steve Blank.

    Meet the Author:  

    Marc Gruber is Vice President for Innovation at EPFL and full professor at the College of Management of Technology at EPFL where he holds the Chair of Entrepreneurship and Technology Commercialization. Marc also acted as Associate and as Deputy Editor at the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ), the highest-ranked empirical research journal in management.
