The failure rate of young ventures within the first two to three years of establishment is extremely high. Key reasons include wrong or incomplete market identification which lead to wrong product design/specifications, an unsound business/revenue model, a lack of financial resources/inability to raise funds, or simply uncalibrated mind-set of founders, among many other reasons.
This workshop deals with how to identify the market correctly and hence design the product (and with the product specifications) to meet the market needs, because if the market is wrongly targeted, then everything thereafter (such as product plan, marketing plan, operations plan, financial plan etc.) will be wrong. This workshop is for startups working on new products or for established companies stepping back to revisit/fine-tune existing products in a systematic process. Current products will be used to illustrate how it is done.
