In a response to a participant's enquiry about identifying a good or bad business <strong>idea</strong>, Tan explained, "<strong>idea</strong>s are by itself<br />

neither good nor bad. it is only when you apply it to a situation or problem or issue, then you will realise whether it is good or<br />

bad, whether it works or doesn't work."<br />

With over 60 people in attendance, the Creative Improvisation <strong>workshop</strong> was the first Ignite <strong>workshop</strong> held at<br />

the <strong>iCentre</strong> following the launch of Ignite 2012 last week.<br />

Speaking with The Brunei Times, Tan said that the techniques learned throughout his <strong>workshop</strong> would be relevant to Ignite<br />

participants as they can be applied to developing their business plans.<br />

Ignite is an initiative of the Brunei Economic Development Board to motivate local entrepreneurs torealise their <strong>idea</strong>s in the<br />

field of information and communications technology (ICT) with the opportunity to develop their business <strong>idea</strong>s and enhance<br />

their creativity.<br />

The grand prize under the competition's ICT open category is $20,000.<br />

Farah Ahmadnawi, PR and Marketing officer in <strong>iCentre</strong> said <strong>iCentre</strong> will continue to run more <strong>workshop</strong>s and roadshows to<br />

create awareness and promote the business plan competition until September.<br />

"Interested participants have until October 1 to submit their Executive Summary," Farah added further.<br />
