Columbia University Business School

This intensive online program exposes participants to entrepreneurship concepts and innovation practices by guiding them through the new venture creation process as applied to a venture idea of their choice. Participants, through interactive online lectures, short cases, and self-directed assignments, learn the core elements of venture creation and planning in a specially sequenced modular format.  Each module provides the participant with the knowledge and tools required to develop a comprehensive new venture plan.

The five modules are:

1) Opportunity,

2) Strategy,

3) Innovation,

4) Leadership, and

5) Execution.

At each stage, participants are exposed to critical terms, tools that support research and decision making, and explanations of how each major planning activity fits into the new venture creation process. First session date in end-June
