Innovation Advising Because of the enthusiastic support from our students, our corporate sponsors and Lane Community College Business Development Center we are pleased to announce the Innovation Business Management Program. Together, we will thoroughly investigate current best practices and most advanced technologies and create a map for the launch of your innovation. This mapping process was first created at a rapid prototyping shop to successfully launch many inventions and speed other innovations to fruition in the least amount of time using minimum of money and other resources. We take the same business approach here, whether you want to check the viability of an idea; create a prototype; simply license to a big manufacturer; open your own manufacturing plant; sell the patent; or any of a myriad of other path options, we will help you learn what goes on in the process and get done what you want to get done. We maintain that the more you know about the various steps necessary for creating an innovation, the more chances you have of making profits and maximizing them as well. This is true whether or not you choose to engage in them personally. Both Manufacturing and Marketing This program covers getting innovation to market from two perspectives, manufacturing and marketing. On the manufacturing side we cover best practices and latest technologies from napkin sketch through design process (3d solid surface diagrams); latest technological materials availability selection; rapid and traditional prototyping; limited run manufacturing; full scale manufacturing options; and on to automatic order fulfillment and shipping options. On the marketing and sales side of things, we cover the gamut from selection of distribution channels to specific methods to plan and make sales. We will also overview licensing and patenting issues. Your instructor, Jon Broome, has personally led the launch of dozens of successful new products and advised more than 300 business owners who wanted to get innovations profitably to market as quickly and as cost effectively as possible. Workshops typically include specific information on the topic of the day; workshop time to apply it to each member of the class; new technology reviews; break out session to apply information; individual action planning and success sharing. Includes individual advising 1 time per month. "Pay it Forward" Scholarships are available. We encourage our students to attend with a business partner or friend. For the first year, the second person's fees are included in the first person's fees. To ask questions, register or apply for a scholarship, please contact us at 541-463-5255 Sample topics include:
