Types of Strategy in Innovation

It is critically essential for your business to know what type of strategy are you in. Many think they are in disruptive strategy when they are not.

Most are in sustaining strategy, offering similar value for similar price as many competitors.

Sustaining strategy is most dangerous corner for growth.

Discover New Opportunities & Prioritize

In traditional marketing and strategy planning approach businesses look into totally irrelevant data like demographics, what people do, asking them what they want.

This information is absolutely not useful and history and data has proven that innovation in that case contains a lot of risk.

However, it is possible to minimize the risk significantly. Innovation is predictable, measurable, clear business process and not a random chaos. It is possible to have 100% clarity and calculate ROI of different hypotheses and opportunities.

Instead use Jobs-to-be-done (JTBD) and psychometrics. Seek to understand the job people trying to achieve independently from target customer’s profile, how they make decisions, what do they do before and after using your products, what are their dreams, goals.

Then use statistical analysis to connect qualitative research with quantitative research, surveys and visually plot opportunity score on the importance / satisfaction chart to discover best segments and opportunities to grow your business and outcompete others.

Finally, Align Strategy
with OKRs, Goals and Metrics Tree

Having clear decision-making, alignment and goals framework like Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) is critical for 100% alignment across organization where Metric Tree connects North Star Metric at the top with all intermediate metrics down to vanity metrics.

It is important to have a clear metrics tree and to prove causality between nodes.

It is essential to measure Customer Sat and relationship between main business metric and north star as one metric that matters (OMTM) which is one number that you’re completely focused on above anything else at your current stage as an organization.

Hire and Train Empowered Product-Led

Noise and confusion surrounding the role of product at tech companies is only getting worse.

The most common are not really product teams at all, they are delivery teams, feature teams, agile teams, scrum teams, etc.

The purpose of a product team is to solve problems in ways our customers love, yet work for our business.

Strategy, marketing, customer success, sales, research, design, engineering, all must be aligned and work as cross-functional squads.

Drive Customer Satisfaction Up with Product-Led

Many, many products offer similar value and look similar.

Customer Sat (CSAT) is purely qualitative and is hard to measure.

Customer Sat is seen in brand, loyalty, evangelists, communities, word of mouth.

Delighting customers is initial pillar of any strategy and UX directly impacts revenue.

Achieved by building strong differentiation, brand and safe and open for innovation environment where UX and product itself drives sales (Product-Led), which includes modern process, autonomous UX research, world-class empowered diverse product teams, act of service and continuous discovery and design sprints.

Pirate Funnel Optimization

Intelligent automation, minimizing steps, time it takes to achieve goal, making experience luxurious, obvious, enjoyable, creating new value is paramount

Product-Led Pirate Funnel & UX Optimization

You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.

I meet a lot of founders who live in a dream world which doesn't exist and want to grow their business without growing themselves first. Comfort and growth are not possible together.

I've been there. You can not change your business without everyday's 1% growth and personal development, changing yourself first and establishing strong system for yourself and your team.

For ENTJ/INTJ
By ENTJ

As an open-minded and ambitious ENTJ who was very shy and introverted INTJ being younger, I know your high expectations, love for processes and discipline, and most importantly your requirements for common sense, strong intuition, intelligence and results.

You want someone who can understand and work well with your personality and deliver to your high standards.

UX Research & Ecosystem Design,
But more than that

Generating ideas, creating clickable Figma prototypes is cool, but not enough.

Get market, competitive, pricing, strategy & UX research, 100% clarity and align your strategy and goals top to bottom.

Look into jobs-to-be-done and psychometrics to discover best business opportunities.

For Entrepreneur,
By Entrepreneur

I was born entrepreneur and started first successful business when I was a kid. I've met many MBAs and McKinsey consultants who can't do basics like sell, build, innovate.

I started my own tech startup and helped many founders to get clarity. I know how it feels to be entrepreneur and a founder.

Craft Product Requirements & Roadmap which will tell a story

Product Requirements Document (PRD), Go-to-market (GTM) plans, Roadmaps, Design briefs, Technical specifications. Many documents, a lot of confusion.

Nobody really reads long, boring documents today. Typical roadmaps do not work and leave you with false expectations.

Remote facilitation,
Faster, Cheaper, More Productive

COVID forced entire world to become remote. You can work more productively and your team be more happier, and you can save a lot of money, by working remotely, however, you need to know how to do it.

It's more than just few Zoom calls and Slack. Organizing entire G Suite, operations, Miro, onboarding, P&L and everything else in a way which will work for each individual, is paramount.

Business is regulated by law,
Don't let law regulate you

Compliance requirements are very serious for bigger companies. Europe is way more than just GDPR. For example, Platform to Business (P2B) regulation enforces online platforms to provide higher transparency and develop internal complaint-handling system similar to the way you could seek justice in a Civil Court.

For violation, fines could be in millions and damage done to your brand.

High Quality Control

The difference between your dreams and a reality is called action.

High-end results and taste of luxury requires high-end QA process.

And only the one with the taste and high standards who sees smallest details, can push the team beyond what is possible today.

I can control your QA in order to build excellence, a mix of timelessness and uttermost modernity

For Creatives
By Creative

I used to paint since I was a kid. I even started my first business by selling arts as kid. I know how it is to be a creative, artist, designer, musician, composer, photographer, dancer.

Do you like traveling and know how to save in taxes and build your wealth?

Exploring new exotic places and finding a place where you are treated best. Spending hours in airports answering questions. Looking for a remote-friendly working space. Losing a luggage. Missing or delayed flights. Sand in your laptop. Whatever it is for you.

Connect with someone who lives your lifestyle and could, perhaps, travel with you sometimes, and tell you many crazy stories.

Or perhaps, due to COVID you want now to be more free, happier and explore the world and learn some tips?

Building is not enough,
You have to close a deal

I came from poor background from North-Eastern Europe. I was selling since I was a kid, worked on old markets as merchant, was picking berries and mushrooms in forests, started own business as a kid, worked as a freelancer, then founded my own startup, and now became a consultant.

I learned from the best and worked with world's top influencers.

UX, technology is worthless for your business and your investors without sales.

You need someone who understands how to close.
