Scaling up is hard and deadly if done wrong. A study by Startup Genome analyzed the results of 3,200 start-ups they found that of the majority of start-ups failed. That shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. What is more important is they found, 70% failed because of premature or faulty scaling.
A solution is “Nail it, then scale it” approach to growing your business. To make it easy to remember the approach we have boiled things down to a simple “ABCs” formula:
A = Ask for help
B = Build ideas together
C = Clarify
S = Build in Systems for growth

Advertising agencies are obsessed with innovation. They also have one of the most unique sets of creative talent of any industry. Yet the creative department is the most suspicious of "innovation" of any group at the agency. Could it be that actually Creative Directors hold the keys to converting ad agencies into what so many desire: innovation partners to clients?

The Innovation Engine, Andrew Breen, American ExpressLean Startup Co.
Large, established organizations fear disruption from big tech and startups. In trying to thwart that they have resorted to several approaches to innovation to scale such as labs, acquisitions and spin-outs. Most have not succeed often due to the impediments that corporate culture and organizational design bring. The Innovation Engine is a framework developed by Andrew Breen which addresses these issues. Andrew has built this not only from his experience building eight tech startups but also in his current role building a Lean startup at American Express.

One of goal of this project is seamless integration of indoor and outdoor space on top of web browser. This project aims at developing a sort of plugin for WebGL glove(Web World Wind, Cesium) to expand its functionalities and usabilities to indoor space and architectural (BIM) areas. MAGO3D can import IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) data from architecture files. And then MAGO3D can visualise massive indoor data, at least 100k objects, in a single scene seamlessly with traditional outdoor 3D GIS objects. Users can now manage and handle almost every geospatial object from desktop level to space level with MAGO3D. This project will evolve to manage and service more dynamic data such as IoT (Internet of Things), climate and weather data, and transportation.

- Scalability of the business.
- Ability to deliver innovation consistently.
This is based on a database of several thousand companies and 4 years of research. The results that follow are compared against this research database.

2014.01.30 Innovation overview by Glenn WintrichNUI Galway
Glenn Wintrich, Innovation Leader at Dell, presented this seminar entitled Innovation Overview on 30th January 2014 at the Whitaker Institute, NUI Galway.
It is difficult it is to identify companies that have scalable business models AND equally important will they be able to execute their business plans. We have been working on this challenge now for over 4 years.In the past, a few interviews and some financial analysis might have been enough. Today, markets are more complex, and businesses are harder to evaluate. To solve this challenge have recently combined over 10 years of research on more than 10,000 companies to create an assessment that objectively measures: 1/. Scalability of the business 2/. And their ability to deliver innovation consistently.
The accuracy of our assessments are very good. Right now, with a 1-hour assessment, we are able to correctly classify businesses by scalability and able to predict just under 80% of their variance of innovation success
Please explore the presentation below for more detail, or reach out to one of the key contacts if you’d like to discuss how Venture Path could help your organisation innovate and grow.

A perfect pitch takes time to prepare. yYu'll learn about the 5Ps of any good pitch (problem, promise, proof, profit and passion) and 7 easy ways to make your next pitch better...
Deliverable: A pitch that people will understand and will inspire them to take action
A lot of research has shown that systems are the key to innovation success.
Systems are made up of interrelated components of people and processes with a clearly defined, shared destination or goal.
Systems work best when everyone shares an understanding and commitment to the aim or purpose of the system.
The foundations are clarity and a commitment to learn, and improve.
Great companies have 3 characteristics that set them apart from the rest. These characteristics are:
1. An ability to see and build on strengths
2. A commitment to build innovation eco-systems and
3. A commitment to ongoing action
Deliverables: Simplifying the challenges, structuring the learning process, getting better internally and in your eco-system.
f you’re looking to build bigger and better ideas, you need to get feedback.
To get effective feedback you need to be able to explain your ideas clearly, really listen (listening is not just hearing!), slow down to make sure you are on the right path and most importantly be ready to kill bad ideas.
Deliverable: Do people understand the idea, what do they think of the idea, are we making progress. If there is no good hope of progress, kill the idea
Once you know what you want to do it is time to build ideas that have a chance to deliver on your objectives. Contrary to the belief that the ability to build ideas is limited to a select few, there are tools, techniques that can help any team build better ideas.
Better problem formulation
Effectuation (looking for ideas at home with the resources you have)
Systematic search for stimulus and diversity
Techniques to continue building ideas
With these tools and techniques the process is clear, but clear does not mean easy. Removal of fear and an ongoing action focus is the “secret sauce” that can pull everything together.
Deliverable: New ideas that have a good chance of being on strategy; meaningful and unique
This course covers what is Innovation and why everything needs to start with alignment.
If you don’t know where you’re going... Chances are you won’t get where you want to go.
Alignment is the foundation of effective growth and Innovation. It is about finding what is important to you (MISSION) and matching this with what the market wants (NEEDS) and plan to deliver and extract value. It is also about an honest assessment of who you are. (CULTURE)
Deliverables: After this course you will be able to identify 3-4 True North priorities for your company /division (True north) priorities can be:
1. Changing what you are doing and why
2. Changing how you work to generate or extract more value
3. How to work smarter and / or get your culture supporting your innovation objectives
Based on 4 years of research with over 400 companies - there are companies that succeed and companies that fail. The biggest difference between winners and losers is smart winners make good, even mediocre, ideas great over time.
This lecture introduces the ABCs of Innovation
A = Alignment
B = Build ideas
C = Communicate and Check
S = Learning Systems
And explains why a systematic application of these stages of development can help you build ideas faster while reducing the risks of failure.
Speed Dating + TRUE NORTH tool to simplify your challengesBryan Cassady
You’re often alone trying to shape and define your innovation challenges. The reality is that if you start in the wrong direction, it is unlikely you’ll get where you want to go.

It is an opportunity to interact with people all over the world through a series of break-out sessions. Participants are split-out into groups of 4 or 5 and later gets feedback for their ideas/challenges.

3. Agenda
• Why study innovation ?
• Key learnings from the research
• The need for systems
• Best practices
• Q & A / Drinks
4. Targets tonight
• To convince you :
– there is a “science of innovation”
– there is more to innovation than post-its and
brainstorming's
– the right way to do things is step by step
• To provide you with an insight into best practices and
a few things you can do tomorrow
10. Why Study Innovation (Scientifically)
• Everyone seems to have an
opinion about Innovation
and there is an enormous
amount of (conflicting)
“information”
• A need for facts instead of
opinions
• A need for fact based
theories to guide action
In Amazon there are 76.579
books on innovation !

experience to make innovation
happen
14. Our Core Interest ..
Innovation is hard work, but
startups are getting it right
more often
15. Start-ups are about
more successful with new
business projects than
established companies.
Some experts estimate that over
of success in innovation is based on systems.

Theoretical Background
19. Our work so far…
• 42 one to one company interviews to validate questions and test
questions found in over 200 academic articles
• A survey with 71 test companies testing initial questions and
validating links to innovation performance.
• April 2015 we updated the full survey to better analyze disruptive
and ongoing innovation success.
20. Now we are going to look at
facts, figures on innovation
success
26. The solution:
Using multiple measures of an underlying construct.
eg. “Strategic Alignment = “
1. Our innovation strategy is clearly communicated so that
everyone knows the targets for improvement.
2. My organization strategically allocates specific resources
(money, staff, materials and space) for innovation to make it
easier for potential innovators.
3. There is commitment and support for innovation from top
management.
Etc…
27. Reliability Analysis: all measuring the same thing ?
Measure: Cronbach alpha 0-1 (>.6 good, >.8 great)
Mea
11 questions Cronbach Alpha .72
Remove 3 questions
1. Our firm is oriented more toward the future than the present.
2. All new product and process decisions in our firm require the approval of the
corporate office for strategic alignment.
3. Few strategic actions can be taken in divisions in our firm until the corporate
office approves these actions.
8 questions Cronbach Alpha .84
28. This was done for every question in
the research twice
29. A validity check (eg Innovation Results)
Self-reported questions
• Rate of growth
• Rate of new product/service introductions
• Success rate of product/service introductions
• Level of product differentiation in terms of
unique selling points
• New product cycle time
• Ability to create new products/services with
real consumer value
• Profitability of new product/service
introductions
• Percentage of revenues from new products
introduced in the last 2 years
Compared with
actual results
for 42 companies

Let's get paid
Why it is important (the
story)
If we can't find a way to get people to pay
for our service, we have no business
regardless of how great our technology is,
how many people download our product
or how useful it is.
Request 3 ideas to make money that we can test
We are not interested in
A fee for use of the plug-in
Why: people will not pay
Constraints
We have around 100 K to grow the
business, so the solutions need to be low
cost. AND we need to work with partners
90. 3. Show innovation is important (and supported !)
Tell them it is important, but more importantly show it !
A few quick ideas
• Start a training program
• 555 program (5000 * 5 people * 5 days to make a prototype)
• Adobe: 1000 and a box
• Events (about 30 K each)

internet, show things to buy
A fancy music mix trial list anytime
someone visits a music site with an
option to buy on ITunes
112. There are 2 really big questions
26,000 New product
Introductions
70% of success
F (Meaningful
/ Unique )
112
A million dollar formula
.6 * Meaningful + .4 * Unique = the best
predictor of success
Cut-off = 6 or better
114. Sugging to real information …
Hey mom what you think…. ? That’s great son…
3 reasons you’d buy this product

If this business failed
Why did it fail
3 ideas for
improvement
116. 3 ways to reduce risks
1. Learn to think like an
entrepreneur managing
risks (what can I do with
what I have.)
2. Stop talking upside, start
talking affordable lost
3. Focus on death threats first !
119. And reduce risks !
When there are
no death threats left
You can’t help but
succeed !
120. An example of world class (not Snarc)
Objectives A weekly learning cycle every week for 10 weeks
10 ideas for new users/ uses of their product
At least 80 new ideas, with 60 killed, 10 merged and 10 in progress
Alignment Every Monday… what next now
Build ideas Each Friday a brain-storming session (with new external people)
Communicate
Check
Systems Identify death threats/ work on death threats
Kill all weak ideas where death threats not resolved in 2 weeks
An 10 minute standing meeting every morning
Write and document work done each week
One person writes up the ideas/ Another lists the death threats
External experts to validate/ give feedback on all ideas
121. How this worked in practice
Weeks 1 – 3 : all the old ideas
Weeks 3-4: better ideas
Weeks 5-7: desperation
Weeks 8-10: real, better ideas
Maybe why
traditional
one off
braininstorming
doesn’t really work
