ABOUT THIS COURSE

Skip About this course

This course explores how anyone can be a successful startup entrepreneur or
corporate innovator by thoughtfully examining themselves and the business
opportunity. By harnessing these insights and cultivating an entrepreneurial
spirit, you can create and transform an entrepreneurial idea into a new startup
company or corporate venture.

Over 800,000 people have used The Opportunity Analysis Canvas that is the basis
of this course. Designed by Dr. James V. Green, the lead faculty for this
course, this unique model equips you to identify and analyze a new business
opportunity that aligns with your startup entrepreneurship or corporate
innovation interests.

The Opportunity Analysis Canvas distills vast amounts of research in psychology,
sociology, and business into a practical how-to guide for aspiring and active
entrepreneurs and innovators. The course presents a whole new understanding of
entrepreneurial mindset and action. The course is structured as a nine-step
experience segmented into thinking entrepreneurially, seeing entrepreneurially,
and acting entrepreneurially.
