    From brainstorming via a viable idea to a successful business plan
    • Feasibility study is a crucial yet often neglected preliminary step in project initiation. When underestimated, a project execution, otherwise well budgeted and well executed, can have disastrous consequences and thus an evaluation of a practicality of the project plan is a key element to a viable long-term outcome.
    • During the first part of the course students will analyse case studies of real projects that were implemented successfully using traditional project management measures (budget, time, quality) yet failed over time since the initial idea was not feasible. Using different axes of feasibility study (market, technical and economic) learners will be investigating those projects in depth to understand the complexity of the environments and processes to determine how when and under which circumstances the concepts shall be implemented.
    • Furthermore, students will brainstorm over possible products/services and use those primary ideas to determine whether they are feasible or not. Learners will then work on several business models, trying to identify the one suitable for their project. Preparing their business plan, learners will understand how to build a financial projection, identifying the potential size and scope of the business opportunity.
    • The outcome of the course will a viable project idea supported by feasibility studies and a well-argumented business plan.
