All business starts with an idea of how to solve a problem or satisfy a need of a selected market. Selecting which market segment to serve is a key decision point in the entrepreneurs' journey of discovery as no business can serve every market.

Having chosen the market segment, its important to decide which key customer jobs you want to serve. For the identified customer job, identify key outstanding problems to solve and which key underserved needs to fulfill. Developing the right product or solutions to solve selected problem and satisfy chosen need is the next step of the process. This will enable the new business to focus on the underserved niches of the market. Business riches are in the niches.

Participants will be exposed to various ways to identify the most promising market segment and the business opportunities it offers. They will be taught on how to conduct tests to validate if they are on the right path.
