Knowpreneur most often helps businesses, associations and not for profits commercialize their expertise in new and different ways. We do it through services such as:
The Business Advancement Program (BAP) BAP is the primary Knowpreneur service. It's a methodical management approach for organizations that hope to grow by adding new streams of income. They may be trying to change a service or product line, productize a service, or add a service to a product. Here's the BAP process:
More Services: Applied Creativity: The Trained Brain When you're occupied by tasks all day, it can be hard to suddenly switch to "creative" thinking that generates new and exciting ideas. It's a natural human trait to think on train tracks, especially in a group session involving the same people you work with every day. Therefore, Knowpreneur often acts as the "trained brain" -- the disruptor who gets people out of their familiar thought channels and into new and different ways of creative thinking. Innovation Facilitation: A Series Of Processes Generating ideas is a wonderful process. But it's useless if you don't have processes in place to evaluate those ideas, pick those most likely to achieve your innovation objectives, and then develop them to the point where they produce results. Knowpreneur shows you how to set up an innovation machine in your organization. Strategic Planning All organizations need to plan constantly. But the entrepreneur's trap is that you can be too busy running your business to identify its problems, find solutions, or plan its future. Let Knowpreneur help you envision and think it out. We're experienced visionaries and thinkers and are also practical designers of plans that work. Business Planning Although they're most often designed for start-up or expanding organizations, business plans are also becoming more common among organizational departments and divisions planning specific projects. There's a particular methodology to designing a winning business plan and Knowpreneur understands it implicitly. We not only prepare and write them, we train and judge them for college and university entrepreneur training programs. Financing Funding is THE leading issue for growing entrepreneurial organizations, whether for profit or not for profit. Knowpreneur can help your organization identify appropriate financial resources and then prepare you to gain access to them. Our team includes experts in tax credit assistance, venture capital, lending, proposal preparation and grant applications. We have also established links with private lenders and investors. Marketing No matter how great your product or service, the truth is that if you build it, they probably won't come. So you're going to have to go out and tell them about it. But surveys have shown that more than half of businesses identify marketing as their number one problem. In the new world of knowledge products, multiple messaging and numerous sales channels, Knowpreneur specializes in the how, why, and what of marketing. Product and Service Development Many organizations are outcome-focused instead of market-oriented. They often develop products and services based on their expertise or research, and not on what the market needs or wants. The result: Commercialization becomes an afterthought to the research. But as R&D becomes more crucial, the two disciplines have to be integrated. Knowpreneur helps product and services teams put the two aspects in sync. |
