the program

eDiscovery walks participants through the journey of turning an idea into impactful real-world outcomes. In partnership with WeBC, this no-cost program is delivered through a series of core workshops from Accelerate Okanagan and supplemented with tailored online training from Impact Toolbox. Over the course of eight weeks, participants will harness the comprehensive resources provided by Impact Toolbox to advance their ideas in between workshops. Gain not only a structured framework for defining problems and presenting and positioning solutions but also valuable insights into what all goes into becoming a successful problem solver or business owner. 

Through the structured in-person section of the program, participants will receive guidance from an experienced innovator who has ‘been there’ and ‘done that’. Supplemented with practical insight, eDiscovery provides the skills necessary to define problems that are worth solving, validate business ideas by engaging with customers and end-users, craft solutions built for a target audience, create viable business models, and effectively communicate concepts to diverse stakeholders.

Workshop sessions will guide participants through:

    • February 27 – Entrepreneurial Mindset & Ideation
    • March 13 – Innovation & Business Model Canva
    • March 27 – Customer Discovery
    • April 10 – Solution Validation & Positioning
    • April 24 – eDiscovery Spotlight Roundtable

All sessions will happen on Thursdays from 5pm to 7:30pm at UBCO Campus.
