A Customer Validation-Centered Process

Our platform drives systematic metrics-based evaluation of business model ideas generated by employees.  Our agile Business Model Innovation process builds in customer validation early as a prerequisite to more expensive activities, such as prototyping.  Many teams use customer validation to refine or pivot their ideas, improving outcomes. The result:

• Customer validation, early on, matches idea to market and identifies projects that should be stopped
• Metrics allow for consistency in quality and approach to evaluation
• Systematic approach improves team efficiency

A Digital Library for Education and Archiving

Teams don't automatically know what the key steps are in taking a concept from idea to business plan. Our library captures best practices, with documents and videos that take teams through every step of the way.  Our library is also used to store and archive team work product, so that previous examples can be accessed and referenced later. 

• On-line videos and tutorials for taking teams through each step of the process
• Archival of team work product for easy access and history

Dashboards for Management Visibility

Dashboards provide realtime visibility into the status of teams, which steps they've completed, and how many teams are in each phase of the CIM process.  This gives managers an instant view of innovation velocity, what adjustments are needed to ensure delivery of target new business growth, and how companies are performing relative to benchmarks.
