About the New Ideas Workshop
Welcome to Business Design Institute
If you’re a small business owner, you’ll love the opportunity to hear new ideas, learn new ways of looking at your business and find out about tools that help you organise your thoughts and put your plans into action.
Guaranteed Fun
We’re so confident you’ll have fun at our workshops, we offer a money-back guarantee. We don’t believe in long, boring lectures. You can expect to have tech startup tools and concepts explained with diagrams and in plain language. You’ll then work in teams using our tools and frameworks, coming up with fresh ideas that you can apply to your business.
Maximum Value
We know you’re too busy for full-day or multi-day workshops so we’ve created this 3 hour sprint workshop format to jam in as much value as possible and maximise the return on your investment.
