- Develop an in-house innovation blueprint that could scale across divisions
- Move teams from research-focused to customer-centric validation
- Create a structured process for evaluating high-risk opportunities

The key difference? A shift from keeping ideas in a backlog to systematically testing, pivoting or retiring them based on real evidence.

It is a simple, practical, and visual tool to understand, design, test, and manage your corporate culture.
What if you could increase your company's valuation by 72% in just one year without significant revenue growth?
In our recent webinar, Michael Wilkens shared how "Revenue Resilience" can transform your business:
- Not all revenue is created equal - predictable revenue is valued much higher
- By categorizing revenue as fixed, predictable, or variable, you can strategically shift toward stability
- One company increased fixed revenue from 2% to 18% and predictable revenue from 39% to 63%
The result? Higher valuation, less stress, and a stronger position for future growth.
This approach creates a triple win:
- For owners: Higher valuation and stable profits
- For employees: Better work planning and job security
- For customers: Improved service and value
