The document provides guidance on developing an effective value proposition and adoption model to bring an innovation to market. It discusses segmenting the market between pain killers that address existing problems and vitamins that provide new benefits. For each, it emphasizes the importance of demonstrating how the solution creates value by reducing costs or improving outcomes. It also stresses facilitating adoption through compatibility, ease of use, and addressing perceived costs like integration and risks of new technologies. The overall goal is to motivate customers to see that the benefits of the solution dramatically outweigh any costs and risks of changing behaviors.
Will your intuition be effective in a social enterprise? Developing Tacit Kno...Ryszard Stocki
Managing any socially innovative company seems very difficult. All the regular management functions seem undermined by a changed distribution of power. We should speak rather of governance than of management. However, to be able to govern effectively, we should be able to educate the future and present leaders of socially innovative companies. This requires appropriate tools. As was stated by Glaser (1966) guru of instructional science, to develop an educational program, you have to know what you want your learners to know and what they already know. To meet that goal we should measure the management knowledge of co-operators. Unfortunately, management is not biochemistry or software engineering, where it can be strictly defined. It has more tacit character. Wagner and Sternberg (1991; Sternberg et al., 2000) proposed a tool and a procedure to develop such tools including Tacit Knowledge Inventory for Managers (TKIM). If developed for co-operatives, such tools might measure tacit knowledge and have unprecedented influence on development and recruitment of future co-operative or other social enterprise leaders. In this paper, I describe the process of development of a tool measuring tacit knowledge of co-operators, that is persons for whom a co-operative plays an important role in their lives. They are aware of a co-op's specific values and principles and are actively involved in their co-operative's functioning, regardless of their position.
From the experts’ maps, I have elicited three main domains: (1) Values and needs domain, (2) Co-operative cohesion domain, (3) Co-operative management process. With the help of two practitioners, I wrote the case study stories with 10 possible solutions for each story. I sent this tool to 7 successful and highly appreciated practitioners from three countries. On the basis of agreement in the answers of the experts I have selected 10 case studies and created a key with which other participants can compare. This paper presents the first pilot results of testing the tool on a group of 29 persons, mainly from socially innovative companies.

So you have built an amazing early stage life science company. Now you need to explain it. This panel will cover how to concisely communicate a company’s value proposition to investors in a variety of formats including the elevator pitch, an angel presentation and a VC meeting.
Buyers know they want it, enterprises know what they're doing!! A Value Proposition is what we need.
One of the most efficient business drivers is a good value proposition. Not having one is like not knowing which problem is being solved, even though huge effort and investment goes into the solution!
These are the slides used in the 150 Startups kick-off workshop held at Bow Valley College May 12th to 14th that was facilitated by Evan Hu & Craig Elias
You never get a second chance at a first impression. Early-stage ventures seeking investment need to know how to target, locate, approach, and close with venture capitalists, angels, and strategic investors. Hear first-hand a successful pitch from an entrepreneur who has closed a funding round (or two) and how the company’s pitch evolved over time.
Value Proposition: A Key to any startup ventureAlok Nikhil Jha
The value proposition refers to the unique value or benefit that a product or service offers to its customers. It answers the fundamental question of "why should customers choose your product or service over alternatives?" A strong value proposition clearly articulates the benefits or solutions provided to customers, addressing their needs, desires, or pain points. It encompasses both tangible and intangible aspects, including features, performance, quality, convenience, cost-effectiveness, emotional appeal, and differentiation from competitors.
So you want to reach those valuable non-clinical buyers in healthcare and converse with these materials managers about more than just price. Digital marketing will allow you to reach them, build a rapport, nurture their interest in your offering and ultimately pass them off to a sales representative as a qualified lead.

2. TechConnect afternoon agenda
Thinking about your customer:
• Offering pain killers or vitamins
• Creating the value proposition:
• Motivating your customer to change their behavior
Demonstrate your value proposition
Stimulating adoption
• Making the customers’ decision easier
Thinking like a social scientist
3. Importance of innovation science
• Technologists believe that offering a better
technology leads directly to market success
• Commercial success requires adoption:
• How will customers become aware of solution?
• How will they know it works?
• What will motivate them to purchase?
• How can you identify the early adopters?
• How do you overcome innovation inertia?
• How will you leverage early adoption to stimulate growth?
• Who has biggest pain, and is most motivated to adopt?
• Who has most to gain, and will easily see benefits?
4. Segmenting market by solution
• Take away a pain
• Offer a pain killer that addresses a real problem that
the customer is already aware of
• Provide a gain
• Offer a vitamin that will help the customer address
an issue that you have an anticipated
5. If you have a pain killer
• How big is customers’ pain: what does it cost?
• Are they motivated to look for pain relief?
• How do alternate solutions compare?
• Can you demonstrate your pain killer works?
• What features offer competitive advantage?
• Typical pain points:
– High cost,
– Low quality,
– Poor service,
– High risk
6. If you have a vitamin
• How would you build awareness of benefits?
• How can you motivate interest?
• How can you show it works?
• How can you demonstrate/measure benefits?
• How will customer measure outcomes?
• Typical gains: Enhanced competitiveness, improved
performance, new levels of service, enhanced well
being, reduced environmental/social impact
8. The Value Proposition exercise
Based on job mapping exercise
• Identify distinct markets: solution is pain killer
• Identify distinct markets: solution is vitamins
• Identify two or more distinct market segments
• Discuss the attractiveness of each
• For two or three of market opportunities – develop
compelling value proposition
• Find ways to increase perceived benefits for each
• Choose the top one (or two)
9. Develop the value proposition
to describe perceived benefits
• Explain what job the technology does
• Explain how this creates value (pain killer or
vitamin) for a specific user
• Identify how the customer will measure benefits
• Demonstrate your solution is better than
alternates (including doing nothing)
10. Value is what people are
willing to pay for it.

11. Three laws of innovation inertia
11
1. There is a natural tendency for organizations to keep doing
what they’re doing and resist changes. In the absence of a
force, they will continue to do what they’ve always done.
2. Larger organizations require more force to change what
they are doing than smaller organizations.
1. For every force there is a reaction force that is equal in
size, but opposite in direction. When someone exerts a
force on an organization, he or she gets pushed back in
the opposite direction equally hard.
12. Innovation adoption
Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your
ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down
people’s throats.”
Howard Aiken

13. Aspects of perceived costs
• Cost to integrate with existing products/behaviours
• Costs to train, install, verify
• Costs to try
• Costs to evaluate/measure outcomes
• Costs to address performance risks
15. The adoption exercise
• We now have a value proposition for a:
• Specific customer segment
• For a specific application
• Challenge is to reduce the perceived costs to:
• Make the perceived benefits dramatically exceed the
perceived costs (and risks) of adoption
• Provide the motivation for adoption
16. Business model approaches
to facilitate adoption
Social science questions:
• How will you make your solution compatible?
• How will you reduce complexity?
• Can you enable trials?
• Can you reduce costs, either short or long term?
• Can you develop strong customer relationships?
• Can you develop appropriate channel partners?
17. Alternate revenue models
to facilitate adoption
• Offer for free (trial) before you have to purchase
• Turn a capital purchase into a service agreement
• Charge per use
• Steeped charges for increasing use
• Offer basic service for free, with premium options
• Offer for free and have others pay for data access
• Share use of underutilized resources
18. Licensing or new
venture creation?
• When to create a new venture:
• Technology is sold as a complete solution
• Market for technology is growing, lacks
standards and is not dominated by major player
• Technology + business dev. costs not excessive
• Technology likely to disrupt the market
• Required expertise and resources available
locally and not controlled by competitors
• Inventor wishes to play critical role
