Exemplary Questions
As Startup consultant you have been asked to advise the Innovation
Map initiative on how to promote the project (see slide 43;
www.innovation-map.de).
1.
As many assumptions have not been identified and tested yet, you
start with listing the key assumptions. Write down 6 key
assumptions!
2. Now that you have identified the key assumptions you design
empirical tests (in the cheapest, quickest, and easiest ways
possible) to validate or refute them. Design for each of the six key
assumptions at least one empirical test/experiment.
