Developing entrepreneurial skills

During this crisis, did you find yourself struggling and floundering or solving problems and creating value?

Even as we start to see the light at the end of this COVID tunnel, we realize that things will never go back to the way they were. The world has changed so quickly in so many ways and we have all learned that we must be ready to adapt to new situations and unexpected challenges in order to evolve and thrive in a crisis.

In order to thrive in today’s world, we must therefore be innovative in every aspect of our work so that we can continue to be relevant and add value as individuals and organizations.

Being innovative can mean being an entrepreneur who creates a new enterprise but it can also mean bringing innovation into our everyday work in our existing jobs and companies.

The good news is that being innovative is not something you have to be born with or know intuitively from the start. Innovation is about transforming problems into opportunities through a process and way of thinking that you can learn and develop.

That is why Platzi has launched the new course: Developing Entrepreneurial Skills.

Now, more than ever, this is a strategic course for anyone looking to be a future-ready professional in any sector or field. This course is just as much for budding entrepreneurs as for people who want to be more innovative in their current work and everyday situations.

We cannot predict what the next challenge or crisis might bring, but we can be better equipped and prepared to proactively solve problems thanks to these practical Entrepreneurial skills.

Upon completing the Developing Entrepreneurial Skills course, you will be able to:

1. Understand why innovation matters, what is (and isn’t!) innovation, and how to innovate in ANY context
2. Create a well defined innovation challenge and get valuable insights about current or potential users
3. Generate innovative ideas by tapping into creativity and inspiration
4. Design and develop agile prototypes to validate ideas with very limited time, effort and investment
5. Transform ideas into viable business concepts that can be presented in any forum to get buy-in and support

This new Platzi course is taught by innovation expert, Daphne S. Leger. Originally from France, Daphne spent many years studying and working in the United States and is now based in Mexico.

This course will challenge what you think you know about innovation and help you be more innovative in the way you think and work. The course is full of real world examples and cases and will push you to develop your own innovation and solve small challenges as you go through the course at your own pace.

You will find the course is given in a high-energy and engaging way because afterall, innovation should be fun and exciting!
