NEXT Business Accelerator Program

next business accelerator

The Business Accelerator Program provides new business ventures, SMEs, startups and entrepreneurs with the guidelines and resources ‘in a box’ to strategize, plan and execute on their business idea, invention or innovation.

It will support government innovation and business venture support, innovation and R&D initiatives, and job creation efforts. The intent is not to duplicate or replicate any current efforts and initiatives, but to bundle an easy to use, hands-on guidebook with tools ‘in a box’ to support our core target market and accelerate and make sustainable their commercialization efforts.  

The Business in a Box contains purposeful, practical and ‘hands on’ resource material, business management software and applications, a workbook and planning checklists and schedules. It is accessible through workshops, print material and via web and mobile platforms.

Introduction and Demonstration meeting
During a one hour demonstration we present the AXYZlogic and framing technique, as well as the PACTS visualization toolset. Our consultants use this time to inquire about your particular requirements and determine if the method could assist you in solving some problem or accelerate a current initiative. This prepares us for the pre-consulting workshop.

Pre-consulting workshop
A pre-consulting workshop is an interactive two hour meeting with a small group of selected team members from your organization. Before this meeting we do some research to determine a potential way of addressing the ideas discussed during the introduction meeting.

Client feedback is very important to us, and these meetings are ideal for such interaction to enable us to continue to improve our offering and share knowledge with our Community of Best Practice.

business strategy

All business leaders know there is a gap between their organisation’s ability to develop a strategy and their ability to execute it.  Design thinking has emerged as the premier organisational path not only for breakthrough innovation but, surprisingly, to achieve high-performance collaboration, as well.
