How do you balance innovation and risk in student business projects?

Considero importante agregar estrategias lean en este enfoque. Cuando fomentamos la innovación en los estudiantes requerimos hacer evaluaciones de viabilidad e impacto del potencial, no obstante, en ocasiones hacer estas estimaciones pueden ser caras y tardadas y en un ambiente empresarial esto no siempre es la mejor opción. Considero que agregar la oportunidad de hacer productos mínimos viables, además de las herramientas para hacer evaluaciones técnicas y financieras es importante para mejorar las habilidades de los alumnos frente a, al menos, dos retos importantes: 1) los rápidos cambios del mercado y 2) la posibilidad de falla ante una solución especifica.

1. Brainstorming-Sitzungen: Führen Sie regelmäßig Brainstorming-Sitzungen durch, bei denen alle Ideen willkommen sind. Ermutigen Sie die Studierenden, ohne Bewertung oder Kritik Ideen zu äußern. 2. Mind Mapping: Nutzen Sie Mind Mapping, um Ideen visuell darzustellen und Verbindungen zwischen verschiedenen Konzepten zu finden. 3. Design Thinking: Implementieren Sie Design Thinking-Workshops, um die kreative Problemlösung zu fördern. Diese Methodik hilft dabei, nutzerzentrierte Lösungen zu entwickeln. 4. SCAMPER-Methode: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse (SCAMPER) als strukturierte Möglichkeit, bestehende Produkte oder Prozesse kreativ zu überdenken. 5. Interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit

One thing I've found helpful over the years working with young people experimenting with business ideas or projects is that ideas are mostly never perfect at first try but been young is the best time to put your creativity to work and experiment, allow yourself fail forward because the experiences gained usually helps in the long run. I recently found letters written to me by organizations while still an undergraduate experimenting with my ideas and I was full of gratitude for those years even though I really didn't understand fully what I was doing then but the same ideas have grown over the years i am now back on the same campus helping students with their business projects and it works so feel free to experiment, fail and innovate again.

Recomiendo que caracterizar los tipos de riesgos son importantes de esta forma, es posible identificar posibles soluciones. Identificar los riesgos es un paso importante para proponer soluciones, no obstante, es importante priorizar los riesgos, es decir contestar a las preguntas ¿qué tan posible es que esto que identifiqué ocurra? y ¿qué nivel de impacto podría tener esta situación sobre el proyecto, le empresa, el mercado, etc? La priorización de los riesgos es critica para la propuesta de posibles soluciones pues de estos podría identificar requerimientos adicionales a nuestro proyecto incluyendo aspectos técnicos y financieros.

Failure they say is the breakfast of champions and I can't agree less. Some failures will hit you so bad that you don't want to ever try again but the secret to greatness lies in giving yourself the needed break, reassess your strategies, assess your risks, replan, relaunch and manage expectations. Some profits will appear achievable on paper but it is advisable to learn to tread with caution after a major failure so you don't get hurt to the point that you don't ever have the chance to bounce back.

Young people need reliable mentors in every sphere of life no doubt but you may necessarily not have mentors with time to devote to you while you need it as a young person but learning to be inquisitive and observant can help you learn from multiple mentors at the same time without physical contacts. You can read their books, you can observe what they do that made them stand out in their field, learn the unspoken things around you and I can assure you there are usually so many lessons around but a lot of people aren't observant enough. The world around you will always present too many things catching your attention particularly online but learn to be quiet and observant and you will have so much to learn from multiple mentors across board.
