The idea

Develop, validate — and bond.

Participants learn the methods and tools to effectively develop their social enterprise: how to validate a sustainable strategy in short cycles, eliminate risk, and avoid wasting time, money, and effort on the wrong product or service. And a dynamic cooking session, led by an experienced Italian chef, turns the day into genuine team building.

The programme

Three hands-on sessions.

1

Social business modelling

~1.5 hrs — an introduction to social business modelling and balancing non-profit and for-profit activity. Teams build their model on the Babele platform, get mentor feedback, and collaborate with peers.

2

Lean & agile launch

~1.5 hrs — the techniques to launch sustainably and cost-effectively: lean and agile, value analysis, validated learning, stakeholder discovery, MVP to go-to-market, innovation accounting, impact measurement, split testing, and pivoting. Gamified, with real examples.

3

Crowdsourced validation

~1.5 hrs — a dynamic crowdsourcing session: each team gets 20 minutes to present and stress-test its strategy with peers, mentor-facilitated, to build the best plan for validating the riskiest assumptions.

The outcome

Leave with a plan.

Participants leave with a much clearer view of their short- and long-term goals, a refined social business strategy, and a schedule of practical actions — saving weeks in the development of a sustainable enterprise.
