What do I get from the Innovation Coaching?
When we start working together, you have your idea but are uncertain about next steps, if it’s worth investing your time and money. After working together, you will have gained confidence about the idea you will develop. You will be equipped with your unique step-by-step plan to bring your idea to market. A first prototype, as a result of our work, will open the doors to customers & funding opportunities.
The Innovation Coaching is delivered in virtual or in person 1-on-1 sessions with myself in which we strategically work on bringing your idea to life. On average, my clients go through 8-10 sessions to get from first idea to a validated prototype. However, based on your needs, we can adapt the number of sessions. For you to progress between our sessions, we will define clear, actionable tasks that help you explore your business idea. For the time of our collaboration, I will be available to you via email for any questions.
Core areas we will be working on are:
1. Ideation
2. Problem Definition
3. Validation & Research
4. Concept Development
5. Prototyping
6. Business Model & Implementation
7. Funding Options
Who is the Innovation Coaching for?
It’s for people with ideas.
It’s for (aspiring) entrepreneurs, early-stage startups, but also self-employed or anyone who has a great idea and wants to explore its business potential.
The coaching is perfect for you if you:
– Have an idea but don’t know how to bring it to life
– Constantly play with ideas in your mind but feel uncertain about making them a reality
– Are already working on a startup but lack focus and direction
– Look for an accountability partner who gives you this tiny “push” to get out there, talking to potential customers and investors
I have worked with clients of many industries and welcome any early-stage project. Based on my personal experiences as a digital health founder, I can offer specific industry insights in health & wellbeing innovation.
Where does the Innovation Coaching take place?
You can take part in the Coaching from wherever you are. 1-on-1 sessions will be set up as video calls and you will receive all the materials via email. Depending on where you are located, we can discuss to meet for some sessions in person.
How can Innovation Tools & Design Thinking help my business idea?
Design Thinking & Innovation Tools are methodologies and basis of many actionable tools used to solve business challenges and create innovative products. As a basis, they help to establish a deep understanding of the user, and their needs to understand how they can be solved. In an iterative process in which you test your assumptions and prototypes, validating your ideas.
Through design thinking and business innovation tools, you can significantly reduce the risk of your business idea. Nobody can predict if your idea will take off or not. Yet, you can find confidence in your idea’s potential by strategically gathing insights from your users, the market, and feedback on your products.
