What Is Entrepreneurial Sprint
1/2 - FULL DAY 1-1 INTENSIVE TO FIND
Breakthroughs In 6 Questions Every Entrepreneur Must Answer
Think of Sprints like running a 100-meter dash in the world of personal and business transformation.
Very Common For Clients To Uncover £1M Value Recurringly
During the sprint, we explore in-depth each of these 6 questions, and analysis therein unlocks millions in value.
In fact if your sprint fails to generate at least 20X what you pay for it, there is a full refund and you have one full year to claim it.
Question-1
Have I Overcome The Thinking Traps?
Entrepreneurs are exposed to plenty of confusing advise: Diversify your product line. Stick to your knitting. Raise capital by selling equity. Don’t risk losing control just because things are bad. Delegate. Act decisively. Hire a professional manager. Watch your fixed costs.
THE RESULT IS A LOST BREAKTHROUGH
The focus on normal growing pains take attention away from critical issues. The most critical issue is to 'stay ahead of others' - and none of the confusing counsel (above) help in that direction.
BREAKTHROUGH OPPORTUNITies FROM THE SPRINT
Identify Possibilities
that no one is paying attention to. The facilitation is designed to uncover tangible possibilities that are overlooked in your industry.
Industry Mindsets Are Gold Mines
Dig it. The way people get conditioned within the ways of an industry is the biggest opportunity for someone willing to question and innovate upon it.
Envision Differently
See differently and re-create your most compelling vision for the future.
SUCCESS EXAMPLE
My client Glenn from Viddyup was able to reposition his 'video-making' business as a marketing agency. The business experienced 10X Growth As A Result of This adjustment. (Testimonial Here)
Question-2
Is My Goal The Right Goal?
Many entrepreneurs say that they are launching their businesses to achieve independence and control their destiny, but those goals are too vague.
Take for example some entrepreneurs who want to build sustainable institutions do not consider personal financial returns a high priority. They may refuse acquisition proposals regardless of the price or sell equity cheaply to employees to secure their loyalty to the institution.
THE RIGHT CALL
Only when entrepreneurs can say what they want personally from their businesses will they be able to make these 3 Critically Right Calls. Failure to do so, and not the state of the economy, leads businesses to stagnation
BREAKTHROUGH OPPORTUNITies FROM THE SPRINT
What kind of company do I need to build?
The enterprise doesn't become bigger than the entrepreneur's vision. It is important to set the right context.
What risks and sacrifices does such an company demand?
The goal defines the risk. If the goal is merely 'independence' - the business is largely small and risk free. An entrepreneur (makes about 1M) recently was complaining, "I would like to sell the business, but who wants to buy a company with no infrastructure or employees?”
You see he made sacrifices without being clear on the goal.
Can I accept those risks and sacrifices?
If entrepreneurs find that their businesses—even if very successful—won’t satisfy them personally, or if they discover that achieving their personal goals requires them to take more risks and make more sacrifices than they are willing to, they need to reset their goals.
SUCCESS EXAMPLE
Three time Grammy Award Winner Ricky Kej realised his personal goal is tied to being recognised for meaningful social change. He tied his entire music to environmental awareness. Result - 3 Grammy's and counting. (Testimonial Here)
Question-3
Do I Have The Right Strategy?
Is the strategy well-defined?
A company’s strategy will fail all other tests if it doesn’t provide a clear direction for the enterprise.
Can the strategy generate sufficient profits and growth?
Once entrepreneurs have formulated clear strategies, they must determine whether those strategies will allow the ventures to be profitable and to grow to a desirable size.
Is the strategy sustainable?
The next issue entrepreneurs must confront is whether their strategies can serve the enterprise over the long term.
THE BREAKTHROUGH INSIGHT FROM SPRINT
A company that can strategically and recurrently produce 'Novelty' is unbeatable. For example, competitors can easily knock off an entrepreneur’s innovative product. But they will find it much more difficult to replicate if novelties existed everywhere - systems, offers, distributions, transactions, cultures.
BREAKTHROUGH OPPORTUNITies FROM THE SPRINT
Articulate Strategy
There are 12 Levers and we go through each of them.
Profit In Context
Strategically, profit is misunderstood. We'll uncover exponential profit hidden in your balance sheet.
Continuous Value Creation
Only 4-Levers that you need to work on to become an innovative company.
SUCCESS EXAMPLE
Strategic adjustments led our client DDB climb from #13 in rankings to #3 in the industry. (Testimonial Here)
Question-4
Is My Decision Making Strategic?
From Kodak to Woolworth to Nokia to Lehman Brothers to you, opportunities that an entrepreneur says 'Yes or No' to determines the fate of the business.
YOUR BREAKTHROUGH AT THE SPRINT
A decision making framework that simplifies and separates 'opinions' from 'facts'.
BREAKTHROUGH OPPORTUNITies FROM THE SPRINT
Context
Decisions always emerge from a context. Clearly understand your context and how it interferes in the business's.
Content
The context guides the content of the decision. We'll give you a simple method to validate the content.
Process
How will this be executed will determine the outcome. Far too often too many assumptions are made here. Let us give you the tools.
SUCCESS EXAMPLE
Veerle Behets, a coaching client redefined her client context (car leasing business). From an end user in a corporate set up (employees) to the CFO. Instead of sales pitches all they did now was an asset audit to show the CFO how leasing was cheaper than their existing asset buying (SEE RESULTS Here)
Question-5
Can I Execute The Strategy
Many young companies fail because the entrepreneur can’t execute the strategy; for instance, the venture may run out of cash, or the entrepreneur may be unable to generate sales or fill orders.
YOUR BREAKTHROUGH AT THE SPRINT
Entrepreneurs must examine three areas—resources, organizational capabilities, and their personal roles—to evaluate their ability to carry out their strategies.
BREAKTHROUGH OPPORTUNITies FROM THE SPRINT
Do I have the right resources and relationships?
Entrepreneurs who hope that they can turn underqualified and inexperienced employees into star performers eventually reach the conclusion, along with Intuit founder Cook, that “you can’t coach height.”
Understand the Capability-Gap That Will Make Strategy Work
How strong is the organization?
An organization’s capacity to execute its strategy depends on its “hard” infrastructure—its organizational structure and systems—and on its “soft” infrastructure—its culture and norms.
Understand How To Proactively Build A Culture That Represents You
Can I play my role?
Entrepreneurs, with their powerful bias for action, often avoid thinking about the big issues of goals, strategies, and capabilities.
Your Ability To Progress In Your Own Role Will Alter The Stage Of Your Enterprise.
SUCCESS EXAMPLE
My client Joy uncovered an isight that 'collaboration' could drive the speed of execution in his business. All he did was create this dynamic capability and saw unbelievable P&L improvements (Testimonial Here)
Question-6
Can I Transition Into Leadership
The Entrepreneur Must Consciously Design the journey to not have a role. The closer the leader of the pack moves towards not having a role, the greater is the degree of scale possibility.
YOUR BREAKTHROUGH AT THE SPRINT
You may not want to sell but that should not prevent you from creating the company everyone wants to buy.
BREAKTHROUGH OPPORTUNITies FROM THE SPRINT
When Do I Become The Leader?
This is a question which is answered by a combination of economics and behaviour. We'll show you how and when you need to transition.
How Do I Institutionalise To Be Able to Transition?
Governance, Stability and Sustainability all need to be institutionalised before you can transition. Pick our brains on how others did it.
What Is A Leader Supposed To Do Anyhow?
Million Dollar Question has a one line simple answer. Let's get to it.
SUCCESS EXAMPLE
Our client Dr. Großman is the CFO of a $6B family owned business. He was part of the team that put a leadership framework that ensured the business ran, grew, even faster without the entrepreneurs in day-to-day operations. (Testimonial Here)
