business model, product, idea, or service, entrepreneurship focuses
on turning a great idea into a viable business opportunity. Innovation
is the starting point for entrepreneurship, as it involves the creation of
new and valuable ideas.

interchangeably, they are actually two distinct concepts that are
closely related. Innovation being the process of creating new ideas
and methods, while entrepreneurship serves to turn those ideas into
successful businesses.

the four key elements of innovation !! this to be used for test question about collaborations
Teamwork is essential to getting things done. In today’s global and digital 24/7
world, challenges are more complex; it’s becoming increasingly important to
bring more, diverse minds to the table and to break down silos.
- Collaboration is one type of group activity familiar to community development.
There is no shortage of initiatives intended to be collaborative. Collaboration has
never been easy, mostly because conflict and competition within and among
groups dominates the landscape. As everyone tends to avoid tension, what we
actually may be left with in communities is peaceful (or less than peaceful)
coexistence, and not collaboration. It may be a good time for re-thinking
collaboration.
ideation !!
Fresh, new ideas help your organization stand out. With intense
competition for resources, organizations must differentiate in order to
survive.

the presenter for the breakout session “Accelerating
Entrepreneurship and Its Impact on Community and Economic
Development.”
