3 reasons I really enjoyed speaking to Antwerp Management School students of sustainable innovation and entrepreneurship last Monday. 1. It's always a useful exercise to explain your company in a few slides and a few words to people who (probably) have never heard of it before. 2. Students - especially these students - are the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. If our Pointerpro story can inspire only one person in the audience, it's already 100% worth my time. 3. I love presenting in the awesome spaces we have at dunden.

"#Entrepreneurship and building a #company (#spinout/#startup) is not a pushy, winner-takes-all, macho act. It is an empathy-led, process-driven, and knowledge-intensive discipline. Because, in the end, #people do business with people (Human algorithm)." So people (Staff, Students, Customers, Clients, Collaborators and Partners) -centred strategy drives the #growth. "It’s important to realise that #brand is much more than a logo and slogan. A brand is who our company, business and organisation is: how we function and make decisions." The #technology will take care of itself if we hire the right people, But as the leader, we are the one responsible for cultivating the right #culture and environment. Focussing on building a #business and organisation that is agile, #Innovation-led, can create a long lasting legacy, followership and delivers #impact, will be the one left standing and thrive. #Entrepreneurship, #Innovation, Responsible #Investment, #Entrepreneurial #GrowthMindset, #Commercialisation, #KnowledgeExchange, #CompanyFormation #Business4Society #ESGs, #SDGs, Positve #Impact, #EntrepreneurialCampus University of Strathclyde| #StrathclyderWay

One for the entrepreneurs out there… Dr. Edward de Bono, the originator of the term Lateral Thinking (a trademarked term!), dedicated his life to inspiring, encouraging and enabling us to be better and more creative. Instead of linear or vertical thinking, which relies solely on logic, Lateral Thinking? is a deliberate, systematic process of using your ability to think in a different way. These proven methods make insight, creativity, and innovation happen. De Bono identifies four critical factors associated with lateral thinking 1) recognise dominant ideas that polarise perception of a problem 2) searching for different ways of looking at things 3) relaxation of rigid control of thinking 4) use of chance to encourage other ideas This explains why entrepreneurial endeavour is critical to the innovation cycle that drives growth in markets. Come and see Lateral Thinking? in action at The Future of Food Competition Finals www.futureoffood.org.uk on 26/11.
