SUMMARY:Venture Outfitter Weekly presents: "Optimize your fundraising possibilities" with Joe Milam

SUMMARY:Venture Outfitter Weekly presents: What They Really Want (and it’s not your product) with Royce Johnson
DESCRIPTION:What They Really Want (and it’s not your product) \nIn this VO weekly\, we’re going to hear a discussion about what customers are really looking for. Together with Tech Ranch CEO Kevin Koym\, and Dr. Royce Johnson\, Employing understanding as rocket fuel for innovation: Once businesses have a deep understanding of what customers seek\, they can leverage this knowledge to fuel their innovation efforts. This means using customer insights to drive the development of new products\, services\, or business strategies that align with customer needs. By tailoring innovations to match customer desires\, businesses can increase customer satisfaction\, loyalty\, and ultimately gain a competitive edge in the market. \nRSVP Here: ZOOM REGISTRATION\n \nAbout the Speaker: \nRoyce Johnson has driven innovation in healthcare for four decades\, with an emphasis on clinical systems in acute and critical care. After 20-years of instigating medical device innovation from the technology end\, Dr. Johnson realized that the failure of most innovations began at the presumption that customers wanted a product/service when in fact they operate on far more complex and very human motivations. He pivoted to applying analytical anthropology methods for understanding what customers really want\, and then using those skills to help a wide range of industry operatives to implement innovating from the outside in. \nThe focus of his work began with early-stage technology incubation and typical stage-gate commercialization processes but evolved to tackling the entire front-end of innovation as powered by a deep understanding of the customer.  As he says\, “ it turns out the technology is the easy part\, the customer is the hard part.” Trained in biomedical engineering\, technology management\, and strategic innovation\, he has become an expert at assisting organizations in devising novel solutions to unrecognized opportunities across the healthcare workplace. \nDuring his 14-year tenure with medical device developer KCI\, Dr. Johnson held leadership roles in new technologies\, innovation and ideation\, and culminated in the role of Corporate Fellow for Research.  While with KCI\, Dr. Johnson also led the creation and implementation of the front end of their commercialization processes\, from technology strategy to opportunity portfolio management. These processes were built largely on the “outside-in” perspectives derived from his ethnographic demand studies and they continue to generate numerous innovations for the firm. Doing more than studies\, he brought the outside-in home: he championed\, designed\, implemented\, and directed the company’s acclaimed clinical simulation suite (including OR\, ICU\, medical library high-fidelity settings) as a core resource for in-context research and education of customers and commercialization staff alike. \nRecognized twice by Frost & Sullivan as their “Most Valuable Thought Leader\,” Dr. Johnson teaches these skills in workshops and as adjunct professor at several universities.  He is the first- or co-inventor of 38 issued\, and numerous in-process\, patents\, including innovations in wound therapy\, tissue engineering\, physiologic monitoring\, and therapeutic hypothermia.  His most recent project was leading the commercialization of nanotechnology in healthcare markets and has assisted clients in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to personal finance.  \nPrior to KCI\, Dr. Johnson spent his early career with Ohmeda\, Inc. and Baxter Edwards Critical Care.   These “industrial post-doc” years were the basis of his conviction that deeply fluent insight into the customer is the key to successful technology commercialization. \nDr. Johnson earned his bachelor’s\, master’s\, and doctoral degrees in biology and bioengineering at the University of Utah and holds a certificate in technology and innovation from MIT Sloan School of Management.  Now independently practicing in strategic innovation\, Dr. Johnson continues to pursue his professional goal of applying and teaching the skills that enable large organizations to innovate effectively. \nRSVP Here: ZOOM REGISTRATION

SUMMARY:Venture Outfitter Weekly presents: Throwing Yourself Off the Cliff: Going from Avocation to Vocation with Barry Thornton
DESCRIPTION:Throwing Yourself Off the Cliff: Going from Avocation to Vocation\n\nYou dream and work to step across a tribal boundary.  To do this you will go through a rite of transition\, you will change.  If you don’t\, the chances of your failure will increase considerably – YOU are going to have to change to make this all work in the end.  If you can disconnect yourself from those demons that hold you in-line now\,  the new ones will be a magnitude heavier.  Yet their rewards are off the chart and could never be had if you don’t step across the boundary. Join us on June 22nd Thursday for a discussion\, together with Barry Thornton\, a Cultural Anthropologist\, Motivator\, Salesman\, and Evangelist\, and Kevin Koym\, CEO and Founder of Tech Ranch. \nRSVP Here: ZOOM REGISTRATION \nAbout the Speaker:\n \nBarry manages two processes very well – \nHe drives teams to create dialogs that make you want to change your mind. It may be what you are doing\, what your are thinking\, or what you want and buy. He takes complex ideas and distills them to simple explanations. He brings knowledge\, common-sense\, logic and wisdom to complex dynamic situations to get desired emotional results in business and cultures. \nBarry is mainly focused on the technical world and people in it\, owners\, managers\, customers. He has 34 patents in high-tech stuff from physics through computers to audio\, and has created\, founded and matured 5 companies and improved many more. He has a broad education in applied physics and cultural anthropology\, has vision\, a feel for the ‘flow’ of process\, and no fear of reality (he says he is too old to be bothered with non-reality). \nTime-on-the-clock has given him the wisdom to see through the BS\, and he finds it all more fun and exciting than he did when he was younger \nRSVP Here: ZOOM REGISTRATION
