SAKU™

What

"Kissing technological frogs" to assess and select between potential business options.

Why

SAKU™ is the key to reducing uncertainties related to assessing alternatives for future competition. The objective is to identify the factors needed for a competitive edge.

How

Independent research project:

• Formulate a clearly stated, closed question around a positive hypothesis.
• Research the question
• Reiterate until a satisfactory level of certainty is reached

Duration

Short, typically 4 to 6 months.

Characteristic

A repertory of options that satisfy the declared business objectives. Business options avoid early tied-up capital, because only the subsequent development and change programs call for investing.

Note

A negative answer is not a "failure"; the idea is to assess many options and select only few.
