10. MAKING DISRUPTIVE STRATEGY PREDICTABLE
• is the opportunity sustaining or disruptive
• have we defined an opportunity around a job to be done or are we targeting a category
• are we building a purpose brand
• are we competing against non-consumption / deploying new technology
• are we focussing where added-value is being de-commoditised
• have we created a model that integrates resources properly to provide a complete solution
• do we have the right degree of autonomy and linkage to our parentage
• do we have a discovery driven plan
• does your money patience have the right focus

11. WHY EMPLOY A MENTOR?
• 3000 Business Plans to 10 investments - that's a VCs skill set ratio!
