Learning Launch : 

 Challenge 

 After long years of working as an employee , I ’ve decided to take and leap of faith and start my own   business . Now , bear in mind that I have long diverse track record in different industries and diverse set of   roles / functions . My primary passion and skill was always about talking possibilities and wonders of   technology . Once I get to talking about a subject that I ’m passionate about , the crowd will buy into my   narrative and my gift was always in persuading people in things that are important to me . 

 With that as a context to the challenge my initial Hypothesis was based on idea of introducing “ Innovation   as - a - Service ” model for SME ’s across Scandinavia . This would be a type of a mix between Management   Buy - In and/or Consulting for Equity . Would that Idea work ?   Or would be forced to pivot our core service   offering towards more traditional Management Consulting practice or probably even launching Venture   Capital fund . 

 After carefully assembling a team of partners with diverse sets of backgrounds , skills and personality types   we began testing our Hypothesis whether or not it could be confirmed . 

 Selection 

 After rigorous selection process to assemble a team we landed on testing the Learning Launch and called   the process for “ Rapid Fire testing ” to get assessment about our service offerings for matured Scandinavian   business environment , dominated by legacy technology and slow passed innovation . 

 Application 

 We started our “ Rapid Fire test ” by gathering piles of data from public registrars . Scandinavian countries   are quite transparent and all of the companies both private and public , small and large , have to disclose   and post their yearly income statements , CEO salaries , assets on books etc . All of the data is open for   mining through public organizations API , which enabled us to track and segment huge piles of data . In   combination with Industry Index tracking we were able to track individual performance of Small and   Medium sized companies across wide arrays of sectors . Data was plentiful and as qualitative as it comes .   This resulted in profile which we would cross examine to determine pace of Innovative Development with   EU ’s Innovation Index chart . The assumption is to compare companies with EU ’s standard as a Final Metric . 

 Our team will be following Learning Launch process outlined by mr . Hess in lecture dated from week 4 : 

 1 ) Idea   2 ) A specific persons(s )   3 ) Has a specific problem 

 4 ) The Idea meets that need   5 ) Better than Current Alternatives 

 So far we had all of the process completed except for the last one . Our team is currently compiling a list of   “ competitors ” to assess viability of our offering . 

 We have successfully executed almost 2 sprints / cycles of “ Rapid Fires ” under 2 months with a team of 4   people . 

 Insight 

 By applying the Learning Launch model we have a set framework and structure that gives us more   structured approach towards testing the hypothesis cheaply and fast . 

 We have successfully executed almost 2 sprints / cycles of “ Rapid Fires ” under 2 months with a team of 4   people . 

 And we are constantly adjusting our service offerings since the initial hypothesis was PARTLY confirmed .   Yes , there are huge needs for Innovation catalysts among SME ’s community in Scandinavia and No , there   are quite reluctant to get along for innovation . 

 Approach 

 Our approach towards to validating the Idea / Hypothesis resulted in careful pre - work and fundamentally   clear set of process needed to execute the “ Rapid Fires ” . We were careful and selective with our team as   we utilized Personality Tests in order to assess personality types among the team . We surely made it clear   to find a “ sceptic ” and recruit him . Our team had crash course in Design Thinking to get them in the right   mindset and patter in thinking . And given the limited resources we were forced to follow each steps as rigid   as possible and fail with small and rapid launches . So far the Learning Launch resulted in “ 2 pivotal ”   assumptions / ideas that we adjusted along the learning curve . 

 Design thinking and “ Learning Launch ” model is essential core our value proposition for our clients .
