Congregation or #cong17 is a one day ‘un-conference’ style technology festival with a range of events taking place in Cong, Co Mayo from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th November 2017.
The festival is centred around the Saturday unconference focused around the theme of Innovation.
Topic:
Only 3% of StartUps go on to Scale-Up| How to accelerate and sustain business innovation
Synopsis:
Innovative, chaotic, enterprising Entrepreneurship and managing a ScaleUp in order to optimise revenue growth are not separate because entrepreneurism is management.
Research and my lived experience of coaching EASME H2020 Phase 2 ScaleUps across Europe shows the biggest barrier to innovation is the suppressive effect of culture and leadership.
