Disrupting the status quo without risking

everything.By DiamondHead Strategies

Have an idea?

How good is it?

I mean bet the farm good?

You know, million dollar good?

(Scalable?)

Billion dollar good?

You could make a business plan.

Do the market research

Create the product

What if nobody wants it?

Because that’s what usually happens…90% of the time.

What do you mean nobody wants my

product?!!

I made a 60 page business plan

I did the market research to find out what people wanted.

Besides, it cost an arm and a leg to make this thing.

Business plans are

just guesses

They become outdated at first contact with a real customer.

And market research?

…a vague idea based on surveys.

If Henry Ford had done market research his customers would

have said they wanted a faster horse.

Companies fail because they spend a lot of time and money building stuff

nobody wants.

RealityIdea

They build stuff based on guesses.

STOP it.

Stop wasting money

Stop wasting time.

Stop wasting your dreams.

There’s another way to do this.

A better way

It’s called LEAN

Manufacturing has been using it for years.

Only here, we apply it to new products, start ups

and innovation.

To save lots of time and piles

of money.

Lean means only doing what matters and getting

rid of the rest.

HOW?

Learn & Discover first,

fast and cheap.

To preserve cash and learn as fast as possible. To answer…

…just how good is this idea?

Q: How do I innovate my idea

so that millions of people actually want it?

What we need is a system…a LEAN

system…fast, cheap and that works.

A system that rapidly generates innovative business models

…and rapidly tests them…cheaply.

It exists.

Here’s the view
