Pictorial planning - using the lean canvas for enterprising researchers

OxTalks is Changing

Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.

From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.

Got a great idea? Then it will take careful planning of all the details to bring it into reality. Planning the practicalities and routes to an end ‘product’ often brings to light unexpected opportunities and threats, allowing you to develop a more successful final output. This half day interactive course will use the popular business model canvas combined with your research project as a starting point to develop your ideas further.

This course will cover:

Elements of The Lean /Business Model Canvas
Research project summaries
Using an adapted research canvas
Business plan basics
The equity fingerprint

By the end of this session participants will have:

Explored the elements of the Lean/ Business Model Canvas with their peers
Applied the canvas to their research
Received peer feedback on their canvas
Studied the steps of a formal business plan
