Learn to think and act like a start-up
‘A day in the life of a start-up’ is a serious game. Entrepreneurial employees form a start-up for a single day based on an idea for a new product or new service. During the day, the team will work with our practical innovation method to transform the idea into a usable business model for your organization. The serious game method not only makes it more fun, it makes sure that the team learns to think and act like a real start-up.
How?
In a playful way we go through the following three steps:
- Idea, vision & mission The teams learn to clarify their idea. Teams will describe the vision behind their idea; their spot on the horizon. They will determine who they want to be as a business, and what their core values will be.
- Value proposition and business model The teams draft up their idea and create a value proposition and business model based on it. The teams have their own (fictional) budget, and can use this budget to hire experts. They can also speak to customers and investors. This way the team will learn, in a very early stage, if their new product has real value for their customers.
- The pitch During the day the teams learn how to make their ideas tangible and to create a validated business model for a new product or service. At the end of the day, the teams present their business model to a jury. The jury determines the winner.
