It starts with a Strategy HP Business Model 2. printers are static, they sit on desks. 3. printers print on paper and other 2-D stock.Slide50: The Student ResultsSlide51: Entrepreneurship is an aspect of action. The human brain is an “sensory” action machine. Use “time” and “change” as natural textures for sensory inputs to cue the need state for which the entrepreneur is “alert” to new possibilities. The “idea” must conform to external constraints. Exercising Your Entrepreneurial Alertness Why does Stimulus-Response Work?Working with Stimulus: Working with Stimulus Two types: Related / Unrelated Acts as a proxy for cognitive sensory perception Produces an “mental image” Tells a story Elicits a memory Permission to “look” Protection from being “wrong” Provides “idea ownership” Slide53: Strategic Overview: To force the mind to make associations that the “educated” brain would avoid. A practical way to do Divergent Thinking A collection of three strategically focused lists, each with six options, are smash associated by rolling three dice. It’s A Powerful Process For Mixing Stimuli Types • RELATED STIMULI • UNRELATED STIMULIExample: Example Create A New Board Game Step 1: Define Task Write your task at the top of the page Be as specific as possibleExample: Identify three key areas to explore & write at top of the three columns STEP 2 Example THEME AUDIENCE MATERIALS Create A New Board GameExample: 3. List 6 options for each area STEP 3 Example THEME AUDIENCE MATERIALS Create A New Board Game 1. Food, Food, Food 2. Family Reunion 3. Laughter 4. Best/Worst 5. Gossip 6. Sex and Rock & Roll 1. Seniors 2. Couples Only 3. College Age 4. Roseanne 5. Yuppies 6. Teens 1. Invisible Ink 2. Nylon 3. Bouncing Balls 4. Sponge Rubber 5. Kites/Gliders 6.

Framework from which a feasibility plan emerges. The ConceptSlide61: Features Are NOT Benefits Features are the • Facts • Figures • Technology • and Details That make up your offeringThe Real Keys To Sales Success: Law #1: Overt Benefit • What’s in it for me? Law #2: Real R.T.B. • Why should I believe you? Law #3: Dramatic Difference • Why should I care? • Will I care enough to change? The Real Keys To Sales Success Winning Customers Growing Profit Margins Slide63: The missing piece is RELEVANCE Big ideas aren’t truly innovative until the customer displays the behavior of purchase. Relevance drives Response CONTEXTSlide64: is relative to a Target Audience Target Occasion or Target Problem Overt Benefit Slide65: The Worry-Free Candle The safer way to burn is Worry-Free The facts speak for themselves, 3 out of 4 dorm fires are caused by unattended candles. Make a conscience choice to burn responsibly, when you choose candles try the new Worry-Free Aroma Candle from Luxhouse. Made with a revolutionary patented design, the Worry-Free Aroma Candle will extinguish itself automatically after approximately 2 hours. That’s because this traditional looking candle on the outside, contains a unique wicking system that separates the wick at intervals with a small metal disk that prevents the continuation of burning. Safer than regular candles that can burn to the bottom allowing the flame to spread. And after each use, you can simply remove the metal disk to find a fresh wick waiting underneath to be lit. Don’t let an unattended burning candle flame out your evening. Next time choose the Worry-Free Aroma Candle. Available in many popular aroma therapy scents. Rating Concepts: Rating Concepts Reason To Believe (High, Medium, Low) Adoption Hurdle (High, Medium, Low) Overt Benefit (High, Medium, Low) Dramatic Difference (High, Medium, Low)Slide67: Biz Plan Deficiencies 1.) No clear demonstration of need. 2.) Can’t define a realistic competitive advantage. 3.) Don’t understand path to profitability.Slide68: If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. – unknown creativeSlide69: Those who wish to sing, always find a song. – Swedish proverb jeff.stamp@und.edu You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
