Social Enterprise

Knowledge exchange/transfer

Some Teamwork

Ideas generation - One you already have,- One you come up with together,- Or an idea for a new mobile phone app.

The Spider: Developing your ideas

1. What is it? (e.g. product, service, training) 2. Who is it for? (target market)3. Purpose - why is it needed/wanted?4. What are the potential revenue streams?5. What do you need? (e.g. funding, contacts) 6. Who/what is your competition? Who could

you collaborate with?7. Who are your team? Why are they a part of

it?8. Any links with teaching, learning and/or

research?

Third Stream

“…As institutions delve further into these [enterprise] activities, it has become clear that most third stream activities have (and should have) strong linkages with teaching and/or research, and that it is important to emphasize synergy and integration sooner rather than later.” (Hatakenaka, 2005, p. 8)
