Why Every Innovator Needs a Framework: Key Checkpoints and Tips for Success w/ Jon Warner

It’s no secret that innovating in healthcare is a completely different beast than other industries. That’s why it’s so important for innovators to work inside a framework, making sure they’re covering the most important considerations on their path. And inside that framework lies a series of checkpoints and critical needs that innovators can’t afford to ignore. On this episode, we’re joined by Jon Warner, CEO of Silver Moonshots and author of 40 books, most recently “SLAM: Build your startup idea or early stage business with the Startup Launch Assistance Map.” We cover some huge topics for innovators, including: How to make sure you’re accounting for upstream and downstream issues, instead of creating a single-point solution that’s never adopted Having a deep understanding of your market so that you can hyper-target the people whose “hair is on fire” — the ones who really need your solution the most The critical need to get as much traction and velocity as possible so that you can rise above the noise   Guest Bio Jon Warner is the CEO of virtual startup accelerator Silver Moonshots.
