Best Practices for Implementing GrowthWheel
Everyone is excited about the new tool you acquired for your team of business advisors. But how can you now make sure it becomes anchored in the daily advisory work with client companies?
While it is shiny and new, it is easy enough to keep the excitement for the new tools or software you have introduced for your team of small business advisors.
However, as the manager of an entrepreneurship center, you probably have been around long enough to know that even the best tool, accompanied by the best introductory training, is not a guarantee for the adoption to be successful. So what are your options now?
From our work with hundreds of incubators and entrepreneurship centers in over 40 countries, we have learned that there are at least four best practices that, if met, will increase the odds that your new business advisory tool does not end up in the graveyard of tools or — in practical terms — on the bottom part of the bookshelf or deep in the history of last visited links!
OnTrack Webinar Content
For your team of business advisors to commit to the use of a new common practice or a new shared tool the following will be required:
Engaged Leadership
Tool must be endorsed by management
Marketing Integration
The tool must be embedded in your external communication
Continuous Product Development
The tool has to be good and get better
Continuous Learning
The tool training must go on in the organization
For these four requirements, you will be introduced to checklists with a range of options to choose from, when you want to make a professional implementation of new business tools or software in your entrepreneurship center.
