EIR on-demand

As opposed to hiring an in-house professional, EIR on-demand service not only allows organisations to acquire the business expertise they need faster, but also saves significant resources by avoiding the commitment of permanent contracts.
Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) on-demand
Customised, innovative business solutions for companies that value their time and money.
Services
As an independent EIR, I support both established companies and startups seeking to unlock new opportunities in challenging environments, accelerate growth, or redefine internal processes.

Innovation Management
When introducing change into an organization, It often becomes evident that both the relevant know-how and the infrastructure are not in place. As an EIR, I help companies optimize their processes and streamline workflows to encourage the generation and implementation of new ideas.

New Product Development
Providing fresh insight into a company's product or service is another focus of EIR. For each phase of this journey, from idea generation to market launch, there is a range of innovative tools that can be applied, such as design thinking, market and customer research, agile project management and many more.

Business Growth & Expansion
Business growth always implies uncertainty. The Lean Startup method, based on idea validation and prototyping, helps mitigate risk through a holistic approach to problem-solving and systemic planning. I accompany ventures through the entire process—from identifying trends and ideas to developing a market expansion strategy.
