Senior Leaders
As a business leader you need transparency to understand which parts of your business have further potential to grow, which parts need renovation, and which parts are at substantial risk of disruption. You need to understand which initiatives have the potential to define tomorrow’s business. You aim to make sound investments in the future, while consciously managing risk.
Innovation Leaders
As an innovation leader and team you help your organization de-risk ideas that keep it growing and improving. You put the tools, processes, and metrics in place that help manage innovation. You understand how to enhance innovation opportunities by embedding them in sound business models in order to disrupt entire arenas or renovate your company’s declining business models.
Entrepreneurs
As an entrepreneur your only goal is to de-risk your idea and turn it into a real business. You understand that the hard part of entrepreneurship is to constantly test, and adapt your idea based on input from the real world. You know that superior business models – rather than technology or product innovation alone – will allow you to disrupt entire industries and build a more sustainable business.
