OUR PROCESS

In today’s competitive business environment we know that those most likely to succeed are those with,
  • A clear business strategy aligned to their Vision, Brand and Culture.
  • Finance in place to fuel growth and
  • Technological integration.
  • At Kriegspiel we work with organizations in these key areas ultimately to UNDERSTAND and shape their vision and strategy, identify the gaps and opportunities before DEVELOPING solutions that ACHIEVE the ambitions.

UNDERSTAND

  • We take the time and space to understand the businesses we work with. It is fundamentally important to be aligned with the strategy. Objectives and timescales with a clear awareness of the culture and personalities involved. A thorough and comprehensive ‘fact find’ therefore is the starting point of any of our engagements ensuring we connect with the business objectives, harmonizing the people and the processes.

DEVELOP

  • Utilizing a mix of consulting and coaching methodologies, we work to implement existing strategies or help the organization develop new ones to achieve their goal.

  • In business, the shortest distance between two points is not always a straight line. Building interventions which bridge gaps or make the path as straight as possible is where we excel. Whether these interventions are organizational, financial or technological, we will develop a solution tailored specifically to the business.

  • In the instances where these solutions involve thinking outside the box, finding technological solutions for business problems is one fo our strenghts. Over the years we have built a number of technological solutions which are now available “off the shelf”.

ACHIEVE

  • At Kriegspiel we have our own lofty ambition. Our aim is to change the world, one business at a time by helping entrepreneurs and business leaders realize their ambitions and achieving their vision of a better tomorrow. We only work with those who contribute positively to the wider community so in helping to achieve their ambitions, we help create a better world.

TEKWITEE

A typical journey of a company developing / investing in technology is;

  • Once you have a concept, its time to raise the finance, this can easily take one year.
  • Next, its time to find and recruit your tech team, this is a further six months and then you hope they are good and will stick!
  • Finally you can focus on getting the team to work together and build your MVP, another 6 months.
  • Now you have your MVP but have spent 2 years and most of your initial fund raise getting there, Its time for a second round of funding…..
We have an alternative approach. Our established team of developers, programmers, researchers and project managers, from the point of concept, can develop your technological solution on your behalf. It typically takes us 3 months from conceptional brief to MVP resulting in;

  • Reducing the “go to market” time, 3 months instead of 2 years.
  • Reduction in the amount of finance required to raise (go the market in 3 months instead of 2 years.)
  • De-risking the project.
  • Able to test market opportunities quicker before investing.
If you are in the process of raising finance or haven’t raised significant finance yet, Kriegspiel can consider a reduced fee for developing your technology in exchange for equity. In other words, we would invest our time and resources to build your technology in exchange for equity. We call it [Tek-wi-tee]
