Why do start-ups and innovation projects fail? How can such failures be prevented? Webinar reminder...

At the Innovation Management TN we are looking at making the R&D process more efficient and the spending on innovation more productive.   One topic we address in our upcoming Webinar on the 6th Nov is why start-ups fail and we will list the ways these failures can be prevented.

The main three failure modes which we identify (there are 20 in all) are 1, Arriving at the market too early and with the wrong product, 2. running out of cash, and  3. having the wrong team.   Our event contains the tools and introductions which can prevent these three (and the other 17) leading to failure and can provide a complete de-risking approach for early project risks, whether they are technical or commercial.  

One of the main challenges facing R&D/innovation challenges is access to the resources needed to follow up a technical advance or to meet a market need which has been identified.  Technology push or market pull need different approaches.  Finding appropriate resources to reach out to and even ways of finding ready made innovations which can be plugged in to your organisation will be addressed in this webinar by experts in this space.

Help us prove that you can be a successful innovator by connecting with the innovation support community and its tools via our webinar on the 6th Nov. De-risking this sector has become possible as a result of venture capital's need to make its investments more efficient and this event will be loaded with the tools you need and the open source resources which are not always easy to find.  De-risking innovation is a new theme and needs to be better known and more commonly used. 

Register for the 6th!
