This is about building an “engine” to pivot faster, and better.
Last week, I have shared how I have been asked multiple times recently if I am into consulting now, with Pivotal.
The answer is no. My mission is to empower founders, board members, and investors to pivot more effectively and at scale.
How? In economics, when it comes to strategy work, there are many frameworks on “how to”. However, from an R&D and also from a pragmatical, conceptual standpoint there is a big blank when it comes to the topic of pivoting.
Therefore, I started to build up and test a dedicated “pivotal framework”, 12 months ago.
Drawing on established concepts like Alexander Osterwalder‘s Business Model Canvas, I adapted and enhanced these tools to match the unique needs of stuck Series A+ tech ventures.
Turned out, it works. It resulted in a standardized seven-step process, supported by seven specialized tools. These are all integrated into one digital platform—the “Pivotal Engine”.
The Pivotal Engine analyzes thousands of data points from a tech venture and suggests tailored pivot patterns, including essential steps for managing the transformation.
Today, the Pivotal Engine is fully operational in a version 1, and available to companies collaborating with Pivotal.
