Fostering economic, social and cultural self-determination is it at the heart of everything we do. Our Entrepreneurship Development Program provides a clear pathway from idea to business start, and beyond.
Each phase provides a building block that puts individuals, families and communities in control of creating their own future – not just their own business.
Support can be provided remotely through engaging facilitated online sessions. We work closely with individuals and groups, and alongside your team to support you through every step of the process.
Our Approach
Facilitating entrepreneurial transformations does not mean attempting to control behaviour or force predetermined outcomes, but rather creating favourable conditions and environments, in which mindset and skills prosper.
The following approach underpins our pathway to entrepreneurial development:
Mindset and a Skillset
The right mix of skills for success in business is critical, therefore we focus on developing the knowledge, skills and attitude that underpin the success of both individuals and businesses.
Experiential Learning
We activate emerging entrepreneurs by use of place-based ‘experiential learning’ where real-life team-based projects create opportunities for learning.
Strengths-Based Development
We use a strengths-based approach to entrepreneurial development. This means identifying and focusing on where we can help people perform to their best potential, in line with their natural talents.
The Quadruple Bottom-Line
We enable Indigenous enterprises that are both commercially viable and culturally affirming, recognising the commercial advantages and social return on investment in a cultural-based business.
Self-determination
The opportunity for community involvement in the process of developing and implementing projects is vital. It ensures authority and autonomy; builds commitment and enthusiasm, and builds capacity so that communities can address their own needs.
An Enabling Ecosystem
We work to develop the supporting entrepreneurial ecosystem across Australia, enabling emerging entrepreneurs access to appropriate business support infrastructure every step of the way.
