Rebootstrap
- Principle: Return to roots
- Rebirth: Systematic Bootstrapping
- Organization: Systems to support rebootstrap effort. Split into the core which feeds the main products/services and new bootstraps i.e. the Preideation stage
- Customer: Laggards and new innovators
- Product: version x... and DEMO version of new product(s)
- Inner: Empower and return to core passion
- Bootstrapper: founder(s) lead this effort. Systematically tap the latent innovative capacity of employees to say YES! and create multiple new bootstrap teams in different stages
- Action: all - AWAKEN, YES!, DEMO, SELL, BUILD
As companies evolve through the stages of Ideation, Valley of Death and Growth, they move into a sustained period where optimization and improvement of the discoveries from the first VoD occur. There comes a time, however, when large companies need to rebootstrap themselves, i.e. tap into bootstrapping as an innovation process to develop entirely new products and services.
