The Business Owner's Guide to Building Digital Projects
Masterclass with Galvia Digital
Are you a founder with a brilliant business idea but no tech background? You’re not alone. Too many entrepreneurs invest in digital projects, apps, platforms, systems, only to face spiralling costs, miscommunication, or projects that don’t deliver.
This practical mini-course, led by Galvia Digital, will give you the insider knowledge to avoid the common pitfalls of software development. Based on years of experience (and more than a few horror stories), Martin Naughton will walk you through the six essential stages of building a successful digital project—from scope and stakeholder mapping to designs, testing, and handover.
In just 75 minutes you will:
✨ Understand why so many digital projects fail—and how to prevent it.
✨ Learn the six critical stages that set projects up for success.
✨ Gain confidence in asking the right questions of your tech partners.
✨ Leave with a clear framework you can apply to your own business.
This workshop is part of AwakenHub’s new skills-building event series, designed to help women founders develop the practical skills and confidence needed to scale.
