Practical Innovation

08/09/2021

Yesterday we were blown away by the ideas presented at the St Kentigern Innovation Academy’s Dragons Den finale. From plastic extrusions for the construction industry to orthopaedic devices for standing desks - this country has no fear of running out of clever, ambitious and clear thinking young entrepreneurs of the future. By using our Periodic Table of Innovation as a framework the students presented some outstanding concepts and business plans. We are proud to be a part of it.

Last night on the Apprentice Aotearoa Hutcheson took the 3 contestants through their business plans. He’s such a natural on the tele! It was really great to see him in his element helping business owners succeed, innovate, and transform. 🙌

He’s a marvel to watch when he is in front of an audience and able to provide wisdom and guidance.

I’m lucky. I get to see that on an almost daily basis, working alongside Hutch with our AUT - Auckland University of Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship course.

He’s one of the best mentors I’ve ever had and best business partners too.

We have been leading entrepreneurs through our Practical Innovation Course for the last 3.5 years.

* Edit…. And because people have been asking since he’s been on the Apprentice, you can get in on our group, hands-on, live and fab Course.

It’s $895 for the 12 Modules, including our own ‘Dragon’s Den’ (in person or virtual depending on your location).

Leading it with Hutch has enabled some of the most incredible people you see succeeding in business.

We have guided bright-shiny newbies and long-time legends.
We are about to dive into the next intake, to help you get real-time implementation support to bring your business idea to life.

There are 12 spots currently available.

Hi Team - as we come into the home straight here's an updated (read plagiarised) version of Lessons From Geese - a motivational video we produced at Saatchi and Saatchi about 25 years ago - but still as relevant today as it was then. All the best - stay well and happy - see you on the 28th! 🤓

Building a successful business requires you to set (and achieve!) money goals.

This article has some GREAT reminders about what's important when creating best practices to help you make - and keep - more money.

In our Course we cover these tips in our Financial Module. Because until you work these out, you'll keep relying on willpower - and that's NOT how our successful entrepreneurs get ahead.

Want to know more about how you can reach your money goals with your business? PM us and let's chat!

Strive to make 2021 the year you finally achieve your financial goals by keeping these do's and don'ts in mind.

We’re excited to reveal the science of entrepreneurial success (yes, we’re about to get geeky!) We want you to recognise and eliminate the hidden blocks that hold you back from making the type of impact and money you’ve dreamed about for years by starting your own business or creating a new product or service.

AUT - Auckland University of Technology have been working with Adjunct Professor Mike Hutcheson and Catherine Newton Director of Innovative Education to design a course which unlocks the science of entrepreneurial success which is based on Mike’s thesis “The Alchemy of Innovation in New Zealand businesses” which he wrote for his Master of Philosophy at AUT.

We can send you the Periodic Table of Innovation, that’s the easy part.

What you’ll get when you sign up to the course is knowledge and experience on how to unlock every element on the table to build, design, develop, implement and launch your BIG IDEA!
