It is not technology, but human skills that drive growth
YOU’RE AN INNOVATOR AND…
You probably experience this as well, you feel misunderstood and people are blocking your impactful projects. Most innovators are frustrated and prone to burn-out. It is an emotional rollercoaster. Innovators are extremely valuable, but only if they are guided and aware of their pitfalls.
Not taking care of this costs companies an enormous amount of talent that puts their much-needed talent elsewhere. Driving innovation forward needs more than just workshops and a cool place. We help you to deal with emotions and provide more control with mindsets, skills, and tools.
With a Startup Spirit coach by your side, your innovation teams will work more efficiently, saving your projects time and money.
A Typical Week with a Startup Spirit Coach
We strongly believe innovators are deeply motivated by personal growth. Working on their own aspiration and developing continuously is intertwined with your innovation success.
MONDAY
Prioritize Risks
We start by reviewing your project with you and selecting the most important risk to mitigate.
Experiment Design
We frame the risk as a question and figure out the data you need to answer that question.
TUESDAY
Build
Before we start collecting data, we decide if we need to write code, build prototypes, or recruit users. This is our “build” day of the Build, Measure, Learn cycle.
WEDNESDAY + THURSDAY
Ad Hoc Coaching
Teammates disagree. Customers are hard to find. Results arrive early. Coaches are always here to answer questions in between sessions.
Stakeholder Management
Stakeholders work with our coaches to review what experiments are being run and why.
Pairing on Experiments
Coaches work with teams to run their experiments and collect the right data.
FRIDAY
Analyze
Once the experiments are complete, we run a debrief session and turn the data into actions and next steps.
Retrospective
After the debrief, we reflect on how the test was run so we can conduct experiments more efficiently and collect more useful data.
Connect with your innovation coach
Your innovation needs to level up its game in order to increase its impact. Startup Spirit has teamed up with the best coaches to train your team in behavioral change. Innovators are extremely valuable, but only if they are guided and aware of their pitfalls. A burnout or bore-out is never far away for an innovator. They are kickstarters and not so much finishers, they are fast thinkers and doers but too fast to engage others. Sounds familiar?
As you pursue your breakthrough idea, you’ll experience periods of anxiety, confusion, and discouragement that may stall your efforts. At other times, when signals are positive, you may get blindly carried away. You must learn to cope with these swirls of emotion.
Whatever your own strengths and weaknesses, you can manage them only if you know what they are. A lack of self-awareness doesn’t just mean that weaknesses may push you off track; it can turn strengths into derailers.
Research by IMD has shown that: “… you must become mindful of your habitual ways of thinking and behaving, your outlier tendencies and bad habits, what gives you energy and what frustrates you. Armed with those insights, you can reach out for feedback or mentoring—for help in becoming a more skillful version of yourself”
