WHAT IS BREAKTHROUGH?
 A full-day art-based workshop designed to build the clarity and confidence to grow or pivot your enterprise plan through visual thinking.
 
Discussions will consider emerging trends, drivers, economic theories, and sub-altern business practices for inspiration and new ideas.
WHO 
- This full-day session is for enterprise founders who are looking to develop an idea further or create an actionable, clear business plan through a creative approach. This workshop will help those wanting to pivot their business in response to uncertain times or founders who want to work with others to untangle the “mess”. This experience will motivate you to find a new throughline for complex, multi-nodal innovative enterprise concepts.
WHY 
- 
In entrepreneurship training, most spaces rely on design and insight frameworks: tables, four-by-four boxes or spreadsheets. Founders often struggle with clarity, stuckness or confusion using these models. 
The
 
Breakthrough 
approach
 
is a new way forward, using drawing and visual production to engage more areas of the brain, helping us see, articulate, and communicate complex ideas more clearly and quickly. Moreover, strategic visuals cognitively stimulate key concepts, making them more memorable.
HOW 
-
 
You will engage in creative problem solving, hands-on making and collaborative community activities to build and develop the vision for your business. You will work towards a visual, art-based business plan while sharing your ideas, brainstorming, and processing challenges with others. Throughout the workshop activities, you will work to interrogate your assumptions about your business through creative problem-solving.
WHEN 
- 
Tuesday, July 8th, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM with a catered lunch, refreshments and snacks.
WHERE
 
- 129 Tecumseth Street. This interactive, creativity-based workshop will be held in the inspiring and elegant space at 
United Contemporary Gallery
 in the King West Village. The workshop will include a stimulating exhibition tour to spark ideas and provide an exhilarating space for new ideas.
