From Idea to Reality
Once we have the idea for a venture, we begin to turn it into reality. In the first stage, the vision and purpose of the product must be defined, and the principle of its applicability and vitality are tested.
In stage two, once the venture has found its niches, an operative work plan must be prepared to transform the vision into reality. As part of the work plan, the different needs that are required at each stage of the venture must be addressed and detailed.
