As indicated by this week’s reading, one key aspect of Disciplined Entrepreneurship is launching a pilot/experimental program. The purpose of such a program is to make “contact with reality” in order to test out venture assumptions before launching a full-blown venture (Sull 2004). I agree with the article’s writer that a venture must “take the plunge and test their plan in the real world through an iterative series of experiments” (Sull 2004). Thus, I decided to research more tips on the best way of launching such experiments. My findings include the following:
· Listing of steps to launching a pilot program: http://www.brasstackthinking.com/2010/04/7-steps-to-executing-a-pilot-project/
· Description of the important attributes of a pilot program: http://blog.mountaingoatsoftware.com/four-attributes-of-the-ideal-pilot-project
Unfortunately, I could not find as much information as hoped for in my search. Does anyone know of any other information out on the web that could of use on this topic? If so, please share.
