Frequently Asked Questions
Here Are A Few Questions We Get A Lot...
Do all the hacks come together?
Yes, there are 117 hacks in the total pack which cover the four critical phases of innovation. We also include our 9 critical innovation KPI's that will help you to focus and measure the most important parts of your innovation.
Can I get just one section of the hacks eg. Prototypes?
No, the reason why we include all of the hacks from the four key phases is that unless you cover all four bases your innovation is unlikely to succeed.
What format are the hacks - questions or actions?
Apart from the KPI's we have designed the hacks in a self coaching checklist format. We've found through experience, that a direct question that checks to see if a critical task has been implemented is by far the most effective tool to help an innovation succeed.
Do I have to be a start-up to use these or can I use them in the organisation I work for?
These hacks can be used for a start-up of one or an organisation of 1000+. We've used these hacks with professional service organisations, with R&D labs and of course with start-ups themselves.
