Welcome to Idea Alternatives
Welcome to Idea Alternatives where we believe a strong local economy is essential to building strong global economies and that local success does impact global change.
Our Mission
To partner and support businesses, social ventures, and individuals working towards building healthy local and global economies and to support women in particular, as more and more of them choose to become entrepreneurs and agents of change.
Company Goals
To strategically provide socially responsible companies with the skills and materials necessary to succeed
To provide and/or bring together the individuals and resources to support this process
To be an excellent resource for others
To create a network of individuals committed to building stronger healthier local and global communities and supporting the efforts of others working to do the same
To recognize that the challenges of building a business can be different for women and to create resources that address these differences
Idea Alternatives provides customized consulting programs and interactive courses and workshops designed to provide small and medium size businesses, entrepreneurs and start-ups with the information and skills they need to succeed. Idea Alternatives would not be possible if not for the patience and guidance of many who shared their expertise and insight on everything from strategic marketing and planning to team building and life long learning. Many thanks to all.
