Entrepreneurship
Idea & Concept Clinic
" Most of what you hear about entrepreneurship is all wrong. Itʼs not magic; it is not mysterious; and it has nothing to do with genes. Itʼs a discipline and, like any discipline, it can be learned. " - Peter Drucke
Innovation and entrepreneurship drives productivity and global competitiveness. The majority of new jobs in modern economies are created by firms that are less than 5 years old. We believe a business is about the manifestation of Ideas, we workshop with you to understand is your Idea solving a problem customers have? Is the problem a "bleeding neck wound" meaning a real problem that they are willing to pay to solve? Can you build it economically? Can you sell it profitably? The goal is to achieve product/market fit via trial and error early on in the development of your product.

Business Model Design
A business model helps you answer what value are you creating and how do you appropriate that value in simpler terms what do you do and how do you make money in doing those things. Deciding on what business model to employ depends on what exactly is your company's mission. A business model that works well for one company may not translate as well to another.
At LeGarde Burnett we believe defining a business model for a company is a science and not art. We help businesses champion this and work with them and research various business models by applying various tools and methodologies that we have developed in-house to asses which of the following that is, manufacturing model, commision model, data model, merchant model, brokerage model, advertiser model, infomediary and affiliate models, manufacturer's direct model, subscription and utility models is appropriate for their business.
Go-To-Market Strategy
A Go-to-market (GTM) strategy helps you answer 3 key questions, How will we create value? How will we capture value? How will we deliver value? Marketing strategy will help you define who the customers are and what they are being offered and GTM strategy will help you define how the company will win new customers and feed the sales pipeline, including the process to guide customer interactions, process to guide channels and connect with customers, interface between sales, customers and product development.
