Tipping Point Collab

Awesome to see Talent Army highlighting some amazing start ups, particularly Emplify who are commited to uplifting the innovative muscle of organisations through their culture ??

Too many great ideas never launch because teams chase perfection instead of progress. It can be scary putting something "into the wild" that doesn't feel ready. A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) isn’t about being perfect - it’s about testing, learning, and adapting fast. It's ok to get things wrong! ?? A great MVP helps you: ? Validate real customer needs (not just assumptions). ? Prioritize what truly matters (and cut the fluff). ? Refine, pivot, or scale with confidence (based on real data). The best products don’t start perfect - they evolve. Are you ready to get an MVP in market? Talk to us about our "Launch and Learn" offering to get early ideas live so that you can make insight driven decisions on what to prioritise. #MVP #Innovation #ProductDevelopment #CustomerFirst

Great article* in Stuff Business this week talking about the many roles startup founders juggle to keep their business running, whilst trying to keep pace with an ever-changing world. One of the biggest challenges? Nailing (and re-nailing) product-market fit. Too many startups don't have the resources or time to delve deeply into the data and insights to guide them so it’s easy to go with gut feel - and get it wrong. The key is being able to understand root-cause customer needs. Not just what people say they want, but what actually drives their decisions. Pair that with a big-picture strategy, and you know exactly where to focus. ?? Are you making decisions based on assumptions—or insights? Do you need help deep-diving into opportunity spaces? Let’s chat about how I can delve into problem areas and provide informed insights to help you nail product-market fit. *Article: Why start-up founders must keep learning at the same time as running their business, stuff.co.nz #Startups #ProductMarketFit #CustomerNeeds #Strategy #Innovation

Work can get busy....demands from stakeholders, tight timeframes, last minute changes can all contribute to rushing and side-stepping best practices. This is reality and believe me, I've been there! It's not always possible to follow best practice, however every once in a while, it's valuable to have the space to reflect and enhance your craft from a theoretical point of view. And then be empowered with the tools and mindsets to apply them in the real world. We can help you provide that space for you and your teams to ground product practices in the theory, practice a range of frameworks and spend some time with your product colleagues understanding how to apply these in your reality. Give us a shout and let's see what could be right for your team.

Do you worry that an "external" isn't commited to your business? That they won't fit in with your team? That they won't buy into your strategy? Working with Katie Desai at Tipping Point Collab will change your mind. Collaboration and commitment to meaningful outcomes are foundational in everything we do to unlock your team to deliver the initiatives that count. Along the way we focus on building the capability so that when your team is ready the approaches can integrate in your day-to-day operations and benefits sustained ongoing. With a proven track record, maybe it's time to consider the power of an impact player who is committed to your team and organisations success.

Bringing in someone new to your organisation can be risky... you don't know the realities of working together every day - their attitude, work style and how long it will take them to get up to speed. That's why working with Katie Desai through Tipping Point Collabs is a great option - not only are her partners saying things like this (below), but as a fractional team member you can get to know each other without the overhead and commitment of a permanent role. She can also plan out her working hours to best suit your availability to optimise productivity rather than waiting direction from you and your team to get things started. It's different but it works! Get in touch to try it today!

Does your team need an impact player? Someone you can bring off the bench to invigorate initiatives and accelerate your priorities? We are "fractional" which means working part-time hours that can scale or reduce to reflect business needs overtime. You can now access senior level experience that can be hard to justify full-time until new opportunities are fully understood and business cased. It also unlocks the ability to explore growth and innovation even when your core team are stretched over many deliverables.

Are you looking at ways to unlock and enhance the innovation capability of your organisation? Our workshops are designed to uplift innovation appetite and capability across all areas of your business. The "Unlock" workshop focusses on the craft of discovery to ensure you understand and evaluate your problem space before committing to a solution. Prototyped and rolled out in a large NZ company in 2024, this workshop is a value-add half day to practice and grow the skills needed to robustly understand your opportunities. In 2025 we are also prototyping two new workshops - "Accelerate" and "Iterate". In true product fashion, we're looking to test these with some real participants over the next few months, in exchange for your candid feedback! Please get in touch if your team would be keen to explore this further. “An incredible mix of practical experience with a great grasp of what good looks like from a theoretical point of view.” ___________________________________________________________ Get in Touch!
