How Can Advisors Use DYB?

WKI’s Design Your Business is the foundation for both
in-person and standalone programs for innovators.

 

Advisors can provide DYB to their innovators as a self-guided resource or use it as the pre-work in preparation for weekly WKI Ideation sessions.

Either way, client innovators get the step-by-step guidance, support and coaching in the format that works for them.

Perhaps innovators prefer to work on their own schedule and timing – WKI’s DYB is fully standalone and ready to support them with short, high impact sessions and coaching to help identify and address the gaps in their business value. With DYB, we put the innovator at the center of the program with a focus on refining their concept, identifying markets, and developing a commercialization plan.

Whether innovators are preparing for grant funding, or preparing their first pitches to stakeholders, WKI’s DYB equips them with templates, step by step guidance and real-world examples, all ready to be used as their needs and timing allow.

….WKI-DYB provides hands-on educational content with an intentional and systematic approach to building a business.  Combined with mentorship and coaching, it was exactly what I needed to get organized and gain momentum. As a female founder in a start-up, Wendy understands the barriers and issues I am facing very well and gave incredible advice that allowed me to see what steps I needed to take and, more importantly, in which order. Thank you so much, Wendy! You have built a fantastic resource, and your process, mentorship, and mindset coaching were exactly what I needed.
