But how do entrepreneurs balance opportunity with risk and\n the possibility of failure?\n\nNew venture and corporate entrepreneurs bas e their strategies on\nassumptions about an unknown future with the more a mbitious of them\nhoping their guesses will be right – or that they can somehow adapt\nto the turbulence that will arise. Those who do not compreh end the\ndownside of a decision – including failure – tend to take\nun necessary risks. Conversely\, many are afraid of taking on new\ninitiative s required for success and instead choose a more\nconservative strategy of survival instead of growth. Both approaches\noften lead to failure. Sound opportunity creation requires “smart\nrisk” along with effective mana gement and growth from failure.\n\nThe strategic concepts covered in this executive course can help you\nfoster future career and entrepreneurial su ccess by teaching you how\nto better assess opportunities and risks\, how to appreciate failure\nand present a framework you can use to manage risk and learn from\nfailure. Additional resources provided in the course inclu de a library\nof videos\, documents\, and tools that can be used to help y ou better\nassess any new business opportunity and the critical risks asso ciated\nwith it.\n\nTOPICS COVERED:\n\n * Understanding the symptoms and c auses of failure\n * Analyzing and predicting risks associated with starti ng something\nnew\n * Recognizing the riskiest points in the lifecycle of a new venture\nor corporate initiative\n * Becoming more resilient\n * Kno wing when to stop\n * Learning from failure to increase your chances for f uture success\n\n DTSTART:20200404T120000Z DTEND:20200404T210000Z LOCATION:Gerri C.
