Entrepreneurship for Companies
The rapidly changing environment requires companies to be more innovative, agile and flexible.
AD transforms your organization using the techniques of entrepreneurs, in two dimensions:
INTERNAL (IN): through our intra-entrepreneurship programs.
tailored to your organization, your culture and values.
Your intra-entrepreneurs will emerge, who will have a safe path to dream and develop their innovation projects.
A democratic operating system that allows us to detect opportunities and capitalize on them, while bringing about a cultural change.
The benefits for the intrapreneur are clear, since he/she is more motivated, obtains recognition, meets people with other profiles, broadens the scope of his/her work with more variety, among others.
For the company, in addition to the obvious ones, it also allows it to discover talent, retain the most proactive, generate a healthy internal competition, improve transversal coordination while adapting its culture progressively to the new times.
EXTERNAL (OUT): collaborating with startups
to learn, collaborate and incorporate innovation from the most dynamic in the market.
We create innovation communities and connect with entrepreneurship ecosystems through organizations (incubators and accelerators), platforms (hackathons, competitions, contests) and specific events.
We also create mechanisms for investment and participation in startups (corporate venturing), getting involved in the promotion and monitoring of initiatives, whether our own (spin out) or those of others.
Furthermore, we do so from a neutral and objective position, without conflict of interest, as we do not have our own investment mechanisms.
For Institutions
Active Development offers a wide range of high impact activities for all those institutions wishing to promote entrepreneurship in society.
With a wide variety of participants, from teenagers in schools to entrepreneurs and managers, we have organized events, workshops, presentations and competitions all over Spain, as well as in other countries in collaboration with local institutions in Santiago de Chile, Medellin, Lisbon, Miami or Casablanca.
For Entrepreneurs
We offer a wide range of services to empower and accelerate your projects in the different stages of evolution, through a practical approach with cutting-edge methodologies and tools:
INQUIRING entrepreneurs who are looking for business ideas, do you think there are opportunities and you still see them from the outside?
Not every business idea represents a business opportunity.
Both entrepreneurs and large corporations need to detect, analyze, filter and select real opportunities.
We bring method combined with a professional, senior, expert and loyal partner vision.
It is not only important how you satisfy a need or solve a problem, you must also be able to evaluate personal aspects, such as the competencies of the team or their natural behavioral profile.
Designing your BUSINESS MODEL.
Still don't have the engine that will make your business profitable and sustainable?
2 out of 3 new business projects fail due to lack of revenue, and this revenue does not come because the business model has not been properly defined.
Your idea, by itself, has no value until it becomes a reliable and sustainable business model.
We have experts specialized in Business Model Canvas methodology to design your model and, therefore, identify your growth engine and the key factors that will lead you to success.
Applying LEAN STARTUP techniques to gain speed and reduce risks.
We validate the key assumptions that will turn your business into a success story.
We will apply the LEAN method to experiment directly with the customer, learn from the market and validate your value proposition.
We design a process with key indicators to iterate, gaining speed and knowledge, allowing you to focus your efforts exclusively on what the customer really appreciates.
This is the antidote to not making a business plan far from what the market demands, often product oriented and that as a company will not take you anywhere.
We work based on what works today, always paying attention to innovations and new opportunities.
Developing the BUSINESS PLAN and the PRESENTATION to sell your project.
Don't sail aimlessly, chart the route to success and convince employees, partners and investors.
Just as you should not build a house without knowing architecture, you should not create a company without knowing the keys to business management.
Reflecting, analyzing and designing a professional and complete plan allows you to reduce risks, monitor your performance, make decisions and ultimately govern your initiative in a professional manner.
It allows you to sell and communicate your potential in an effective and convincing way, as well as saving an absolutely irreplaceable resource, your time.
Learn from the practice with more than 2,000 entrepreneurs, from success stories, avoiding the mistakes that books do not teach you, using the latest techniques of business management.
Our mentors will guide you through the AD itinerary to turn your idea into a reality.
The ENTREPRENEUR'S DIVAN offers you practical mentoring advice.
A personal trainer, mentor, coach, counselor and travel companion.
An ideal advice at any stage of development through 60-minute sessions with executive character and high intensity.
The figure of a personal advisor who accompanies you in your adventure, providing contacts, experience, support, contrast and energy when you need it.
The method is similar to that of a personal trainer in the world of competitive sports: We will demand more of you than you demand of yourself.
Our goal is to prepare you, help you think, inspire you, encourage you, persuade you and above all unblock what is holding you back.
In other words, we will do whatever it takes for you and your company to get better results.
A very practical approach, based on "Learn by Doing" and "Do it yourself", using only what works and what will really make your company and your teams evolve.
