This is the beginning of the journey. You have an idea that you want to turn into a business. Business Ideation is the creative process of generating an idea and then developing, communicating and implementing it.
You test your idea on family, friends and in your community. Feedback is valuable market research which will help you to test every angle of the idea. You shape it. Reshape it. You get feedback and shape it again. Your dream is about to become a reality.
The Ideation process includes all the stages of a thought cycle – from the abstract concept through to innovation, development, evaluation, and actualization of a product.
