1) Model & Principles
Innovation Leadership = Strategy × (Portfolio Mix + Evidence + Partners)
- Portfolio Mix — balance Horizon 1/2/3 to hit this year & seed next
- Evidence — rapid experiments, clear metrics, kill-or-scale
- Partners — co-innovation, distribution, and licensing
Keep bets small until evidence is strong; standardize how teams test & decide.
2) Diagnostic Rubric (score 0–10)
Strategy & Focus
- 0–2: Idea-chasing; no ICP
- 3–4: Themes exist; weak focus
- 5–6: Clear themes; guardrails
- 7–8: Roadmap tied to strategy
- 9–10: Systematic, evidence-gated
Portfolio Balance
- 0–2: All H1 or all H3
- 3–4: Skewed; no targets
- 5–6: Targets exist
- 7–8: Within ±10% of targets
- 9–10: Dynamic reallocation on evidence
Experimentation
- 0–2: No tests; big launches
- 3–4: Some tests; no stats
- 5–6: A/B in core flows
- 7–8: Weekly tests; clear criteria
- 9–10: Automation; experiment OS
Partner/Licensing
- 0–2: Ad-hoc
- 3–4: Pilots only
- 5–6: First licenses live
- 7–8: Tiers, SLAs, case studies
3) 12-Month Roadmap
Q1 — Baseline & Cadence
- Set H1/H2/H3 targets; fund pilots
- Weekly ship + experiment OS
- Partner shortlist & outreach
Q2 — Prove & Package
- Top-10 ideas tested; kill/scale
- Offer/pricing experiments
- First license pilot
Q3 — Scale & Systemize
- Tiered partners + UTMs
- Repeatables into playbooks
- Automation of core flows
Q4 — Lead
- Portfolio rebalancing on evidence
- Case studies; certifications
- Budget/targets for next FY
4) 90-Day Sprint
Days 1–30
- Agree targets; baseline portfolio
- Top-5 experiments scoped
- Partner shortlist (10)
Days 31–60
- Run 5 tests; ship 2 wins
- Price/packaging A/B
- First co-marketing asset
Days 61–90
- Kill 2–3; scale 1–2
- Sign 1 license pilot
- Publish sprint case note
5) Operating System (weekly)
- Mon: portfolio + experiment queue
- Wed: ship one asset/test
- Fri: metrics + decision log (kill/scale)
Definition of Done: shipped change or completed test, not a meeting.
6) Metrics That Matter
- Portfolio mix vs target (H1/H2/H3)
- Experiment velocity (#/wk) & kill rate (%)
- Time-to-learn (days/test)
- EV uplift (€) from wins
- Partner-sourced revenue (%)
7) Scripts & Templates
Partner opener
Hi {{Name}} — We help {{ICP}} test & scale {{outcome}} in weeks.
Co-brand demo + rev-share. 15 min to explore a pilot?
Experiment brief (1-pager)
Hypothesis: {{We believe…}} • Metric: {{X}} • Baseline: {{b%}} • Uplift target: {{u%}}
Design: {{A/B? Sample? Duration?}} • Decision rule: {{ship if …}} • Owner: {{…}}
8) Interactive Tools
📦 Portfolio Mix — H1/H2/H3 Budget & Target Gap
Rule: keep within ±10% unless evidence says otherwise
🧮 RICE Prioritizer — Reach • Impact • Confidence • Effort
🧪 Experiment Planner — Sample Size & ROI (informational)
Assumes α=0.05, power≈80%
Rough guidance. For critical decisions use a statistician/experiment platform.
⛳ Idea Funnel — Conversion & Bottlenecks
📜 IP & Licensing Readiness

9) Risks & Anti-Patterns
- All H1 or all H3 (no balance)
- Shipping without evidence (no tests)
- Over-customization (kills scale)
- No partner economics/SLAs
- Endless pilots; no kill/scale decisions
10) Next Steps & CTA
Now: Run the tools (Mix, RICE, A/B Plan, Funnel, Licensing, Partners).
Then: Choose one 30-day booster and set the weekly cadence.

From know-how to leadership—delivered, standardized, and scaled.-Josef David
Strategy & Positioning
- ICP — Ideal Customer Profile: the type of company or buyer you serve best (e.g., “mid-market industrials in EU”).
- GTM — Go-to-Market: how you win customers (channels, funnel, coverage).
- CTA — Call to Action: the concrete next step you ask for (e.g., “Book a 30-min fit call”).
- NPS — Net Promoter Score: loyalty metric from −100 to +100 based on “recommend?” survey.
Problem-Solving & Prioritization
- MECE — Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive: structure issues so items don’t overlap and cover the whole problem.
- ICE — Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort: quick way to rank initiatives by payoff versus difficulty.
- RICE — Reach × Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort: prioritization adding “how many affected” (Reach).
- H1 / H2 / H3 — Hypotheses 1/2/3: statements you test to explain the outcome gap.
- A/B — A/B Test: run version A vs B to see which performs better, statistically.
Finance & Economics
- ROI — Return on Investment: (benefit − cost) ÷ cost; we also use “12-month ROI”.
- EV — Expected Value: price or fee × win probability (used in proposal economics).
- EBIT — Earnings Before Interest & Taxes: operating profit measure; often a target KPI.
- TCO — Total Cost of Ownership: full cost to build or buy (setup + run + maintenance).
- KPI — Key Performance Indicator: the success metric you’re aiming to move (e.g., “gross margin +3 pts”).
AI, Data & Platforms
- MLOps — Machine-Learning Operations: deploy, monitor, retrain and govern models safely.
- CI/CD — Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery: automated build, test and deploy pipeline.
- PII — Personally Identifiable Information: data that can identify a person; needs special handling.
- RBAC — Role-Based Access Control: users only see data and tools allowed by their role.
- Model Registry — System of record for model versions and approvals.
- Drift — Model/data performance shift over time; requires monitoring and retraining.
- GenAI — Generative AI: systems that create text, images, code, etc., from prompts.
Sales, Pipeline & Delivery
- CRM — Customer Relationship Management: system to track contacts, deals and activities.
- Win Rate — % of qualified opportunities you close (not an acronym, but core metric).
- PMO — Project Management Office: function that governs large projects and portfolios.
Planning & Cadence
- Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / Q4 — Calendar or fiscal quarters (3-month blocks).
- FY — Fiscal Year: your accounting year (e.g., FY2026).
- v1 — Version 1: first working release you ship to users (“prove value fast”).
- Sprint — Fixed timebox (often 1–2 weeks) to build and ship increments.
Commercial Packaging & Offers
- Pilot — Small, time-boxed engagement to prove value and de-risk a larger rollout.
- Tiered Offer — Three options (e.g., Pilot / Core / Flagship) to match scope and price to value.
- Risk Reversal — Mechanism that reduces buyer risk (e.g., milestone-based fees or opt-out gates).
Governance & Compliance
- SLA — Service-Level Agreement: commitments on availability, quality or timeliness.
- Audit Trail — Record of who changed what and when (models, data, access).
- Guardrails — Technical and policy limits that keep AI use safe and compliant.
