Communication strategy for entrepreneurs - IE BusinessCathy Hackl, APR
In today's world many communications professionals find themselves working for small to medium enterprises or even new ventures & startups. The communications needs and priorities that these organizations have are unique. Through this workshop participants will learn how to create effective communication strategies in situations where resources are limited and in which it is vital to build corporate communications from the ground up.
Startups are small teams, most often between five and 100 people. They’re backed by intelligent investors and led by visionary founders. They’re innovating, experimenting, growing, and most importantly for you—they’re hiring. (ALL the time—often even if they don’t post job listings.)

The audience will discuss and apply various tools to help develop business ideas in this new environment.

Innovits corporate catalyst stefano mizio 21 novembre 2013Stefano Mizio
Large corporations are integrating entrepreneurial behaviours with their existing capabilities. They aren't always Too Big to Innovate. Intrapreneurship and corporate catalyst.
Doing conventional innovation is no guarantee of success. New ways of innovating are starting with engineers and ending with business ideas, rather than starting with business people and ending with engineers. To innovate successfully, companies must ask the right questions, know where their market is, how big the opportunity is, where they currently are and where they want to be.

- It is a golden age for entrepreneurs with cheaper startup costs and more resources, but competition is also high with investors expecting proven traction from small amounts of funding.
- When evaluating startups, market fit is the most important factor, followed by team and product. Founders need a market vision that can disrupt existing companies.
- Picking co-founders requires finding complementary skills, with tech founders needing business skills and vice versa. Equity should usually be split equally.
- What works varies by startup so founders should try

The ideal pitch length is 3-5 minutes and should include an overview, problem/opportunity, solution, market size/benefits, business model, competitive advantage, go-to-market strategy/traction, team/hires, and a clear call to action.

2. It should be led by company leaders and involve asking open-ended questions to let the customer guide the conversation without pushing an agenda.
3. The primary goal of initial interviews is to test whether customers care about the problem by understanding their current experiences and solutions.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
