SUMMARY:Building Your Value Proposition Design (VPD) Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Please join Senior Business Counselor\, and Adjunct GMU Professor George Siragusa\, as he guides you through a step-by-step process of building your Value Proposition Design which is invaluable to startups\, early stage companies\, growth\, or even mature businesses! \nThe Value Proposition Design (VPD) is a framework that enables businesses to develop and solidify their foundational ideas for how they will create\, communicate\, deliver and then extract marketplace value for a differentiated product or service intended to solve a specific problem aligned with a specific customer need while delivering tangible benefits\, for an intended potential customer segment in a domain space or industry sector. It lives inside something called the Business Model Canvas\, another important foundational business framework. \n[Learn more at the event registration link.]

SUMMARY:AI Collective-HR | AI ideation\, research\, and validation
DESCRIPTION:Using AI to Think Like a Successful Entrepreneur \nAn AI-powered ideation\, research\, and validation workshop \nBuilding ideas is easy. Proving they matter is hard. \nThis hands-on workshop is designed to help you use AI as a thinking partner to move faster from vague ideas to clearer\, validated directions. Instead of guessing or relying on gut instinct alone\, you will learn practical ways to use AI to challenge assumptions\, explore markets\, and pressure-test ideas before you invest too much time or energy.\nThis session focuses on how founders\, builders\, and teams can use AI to think more clearly\, ask better questions\, and make more informed decisions. No hype. No pitch decks. Just practical frameworks you can apply right away. \n🔍 What you’ll learn \n\nHow to use AI to generate and refine early-stage ideas\nTurning assumptions into research questions instead of guesses\nExploring customer and market perspectives with AI support\nSimple validation techniques you can use immediately\nHow to move from intuition-driven thinking to evidence-informed decisions\n\nThis is not about memorizing prompts or chasing tools.
