Three Billion Out of Poverty: Reducing Risk, Expanding Impact

About the Webinar

Innovators frequently fail because they ask too few questions. In this in-depth presentation, you’ll learn how to use the process of Zero-Based Design to ask the right questions of the right people at the outset of the design and planning phase.

Mal Warwick, a veteran entrepreneur, impact investor and co-author with Paul Polak of The Business Solution to Poverty: Designing Products and Services for Three Billion New Customers, will lead you through each step of innovation – from defining the problem to learning from beneficiaries to applying Zero-Based Design principles at each decision point.

You’ll set yourself and your venture on a course to maximize success – and minimize the risk of failure.
