Need Driven Entrepreneurship
Conquer the fuzzy front endEvery innovation idea begins in what designers call the "fuzzy front end" - a chaotic and unclear origin from which possible solutions emerge. Only by considering all the stakeholders involved can the desirability of the innovation be ensured and push innovation avoided.
Sciencepreneurship = Evidence"In God we trust, all others bring data" - W. Edwards DemingIn the healthcare sector, and especially in the context of software as medical devices (e.g. digital therapies, clinical decision support systems), a good scientific basis is needed from which to derive a future problem-solution fit.
Crystal clear value propositonAfter the clear, evidence-based development of a multi-stakeholder (4P) value proposition, a pitch is created that clearly communicates this and prepares for the next milestone (e.g. funding).
