Women in Innovation: Building Success - Value PropositionKTN
Value Proposition - delivered by Emma Fadlon, and hosted by the Knowledge Transfer Network.
It is very easy for companies, especially technology led companies, to fall into the trap of describing their technology and NOT the big problems they are solving.
To convince stakeholders to invest or buy your products you need to have a strong and credible value proposition.
Have you ever listened to a presentation and walked away thinking "I really don't understand what they actually do”?
This webinar will help you to develop your value proposition to make sure all your stakeholders understand and share your vision and values.

Foresight For Profitable Futures Mark OstrynMark Ostryn
Mark reviews what components drive long term business value: future vision, strategic flexibility, scalability, the team, acquisitions, alliances and partnerships and the creation of barriers to entry.
He then takes a case study approach to review how changes are taking place in education, construction, packaging, bakery and trucking.
Various tools for strategic planning are then considered including scenario analysis, adaptive scenarios, horizon scanning, scoping and competitive intelligence.
These tools are adapted to industry in a "collaborative foresight" framework using scanning, strategic thinking, networking and action planning in order to help entrepreneurs create a future vision.
The Commercialising Metamaterials Innovation Network brings you its next workshop in our winter series. This webinar will bring together a variety of experts who can offer organisations the support they need to successfully scale up and commercialise.
Once an aspect of metamaterials technology has been identified with the potential in a particular application, there is a need to look to scale up the production to develop demonstrators and prototypes. This activity is often associated with a start-up or SME since the technology is brought in from research. The needs of these small enterprises in progressing, from this first step to commercialisation, can include a variety of services offered from academia to investors. Very often investors will only be interested in further steps to commercialise or upscale.
This webinar will bring together a variety of experts who can offer organisations the support they need to successfully scale up and commercialise. This includes modelling services from academia; advanced manufacturing scale up from catapults and academia; innovation funding and investor access from Government-funded organisations; early-stage design expertise to ensure capture of best product and application, to name just a few.

What is Strategy Management ?
Strategy is to prepare systematically plans for the future in order to interact to new emerging trends and changes in the wider scope of the company with special attention to avoid rigidity, because the past is not equal to the future.
“Wide scope of the company” : Companies are open systems : input side for resource seeking and output side for market seeking (system dynamics!)
“Avoid rigidity” : New events, new knowledge makes that the original strategy is no longer up to date
In general, strategy arises incrementally: “What are realistic objectives with current characteristics of the context and future trends?”
Predictability is key for making strategic plans and investment decisions in the long run. Planning, with hard data and soft data (tacit knowledge), is easier in stable environment. However in the long run a small change in wide scope of the company could escalate dramatically due to system dynamics.
Besides predictability, there is also legacy: most big companies have legacy to carry on while small companies (e.g. Fintech) start from a clean sheet and are flexible, focused, motivated and can “do more with less”.
For building and accumulating a “strategic competitive advantage (SCA)” a consistent flow of investment is needed in order to obtain desired level of accumulation.
A “strategic competitive advantage (SCA)” can be a patent (intellectual property), a customer install base, a certain image or branding in the mind of the customers, a new disruptive or innovative technology, … and is the result of a strategic decision in investing a consistent flow and stock.
Stock – flow diagram : “Success breeds success”
For example: (1) a consistent investment in R&D will give a bigger stock of knowledge/competence than the double investment in half of the time. So speeding up the investments will not give the same stock at a certain moment. (2) a consistent investment in advertising will give a bigger stock of reputation/image/branding than the double investment in half of the time.

14. … First Impressions
Project Summary
Please provide a short summary of your project.
• This is the first thing they read - ‘wow!, I get this and I like this’.
• Top tip – ‘Economist’ editorial style. 9 word sentences, active tense.
15. 1. Need or challenge
What is the business need, citizen challenge, technological challenge or
market opportunity behind your innovation?
“Here’s an unmet business needs that is costing or denying (John/s)
value. We can develop the tech/service/product to fix this challenge and
when we do, (John/s) will buy it.”
• Depth about the wider context
• Insight on how you will solve it where others fail
17. 2. Approach and innovation
What approach will you take and where will the focus of the innovation
be?
“We will technically solve the challenge by x, y, z. This is better than
competitors a, b, c because … Based on earlier work (patent searches)
we have freedom to operate. We will deliver (this/these) outputs.”
• “and here’s a picture (Appendix Q2) that oozes ‘wow factor!’”
• A technical stretch is important – Not off the shelf
19. 3. Team and resources
Who is in the project team and what are their roles?
“Our team is the best - and here’s a list of credentials/track record that
shows we can build it and get traction in the market. We will additionally
need (these) resources and this is where we get them”.
• Do not be shy!
• Use the competition to expand your network
21. 4. Market awareness
What does the market you are targeting look like?
• The market looks like (this) and here’s the trends with numbers and
recent references that show we really know our stuff. Our target
addressable market is (sensible, conservative, argued) numbers).
23. 5. Outcomes and route to market
How are you going to grow your business and increase your productivity
into the long term as a result of the project?
“The value proposition to our target customers is (how they benefit in a
business sense and it’s worth x to them). Our routes to market are
(credible ideas, preferably relevant to market identified in Q4). Currently
we sit (here) in the market but this project will take us to (there).”
25. 6. Wider impacts
What impact might this project have outside the project team?
• “There are external (wider) benefits to
(economic/social/environmental/greater good stuff) attributable to this
solution being implemented and they are worth (some sort of
guestimate). Stress any regional impacts (local economy stuff).”
27. 7. Project management
How will you manage the project effectively?
“Here’s a fantastic project plan (work packages, costed, research
category, description of deliverables, management techniques and
structure”.

• The plan lines up with all other comments and comitments made in
earlier sections.
29. 8. Risks

(project/technical/commercial/environmental/regulatory/whatever)
with risk ownership assigned and sensible mitigation suggested along
with a description of how risk will be managed during the project.”
• “and here’s a nice initial risk register (AppendixQ8).”
• Top tip – this is a ‘graph question’, label the axes.
31. 9. Additionality
Describe the impact that an injection of public funding would have
on this project.
“We seriously need support. It will not happen without it. Support
enables (faster time to market; derisking to the point where private
investors will come in; a new type of collaboration) – and look at those
awesome (stakeholder and/or wider) benefits.”
33. 10. Costs and value for money
How much will the project cost and how does it represent value for
money for the team and the taxpayer?
“It’s excellent value for money - look how modestly the work packages
are costed. Subcontracts are justified because (they’re the best/we
worked well with them previously/etc). The return to the tax payer
comes from (increased VAT/payroll taxes/improved
productivity/efficiency/contribution to govt strategy/etc).”
35. Summary
• Wow them from the off.
