I’d like to leave you with a few parting thoughts.
- Solve actual problems: Delivering value and writing your own successful case studies will increase the likelihood of ongoing funding and success.
- Take realistic first steps: Don’t be over ambitious. Equally don’t deliver something that has limited impact. Take small meaningful but achievable steps that help you learn and release value quickly.
- Get the skills and get started: Look at the wider opportunities to utilise internal skills and your partnership ecosystems to reduce cost of entry. And to learn which skills are core to your success.
