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
🤝 Co-Innovation Partner Map

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.
