TELLUS Envision Workshop

SOFTWARE COMMERCIALIZATION WORKSHOP

Software is part of our daily life. Organizations that did not start as software organizations have suddenly recognized that something built for internal use would benefit other organizations as well. The commercial software business is very different and the TELLUS software commercialization workshops focus on helping the organization in its intellectual property (IP) commercialization.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

TELLUS Software Commercialization Workshop is a highly interactive three-stage workshop model. The workshop focuses on building a business model and a roadmap for a commercial software solution. The roadmap includes the definition of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that allows the organization to evaluate the business idea by reaching out to prospective customers. TELLUS uses industry-strength business modeling frameworks such as Business Model Canvas as part of the workshop delivery. The workshop can be either virtual or in-person.
