Guiding Circular Ideas and
other serious stuff…

Become an Ecoleader!

Determining a (growth) strategy is about who you are, who you want to be and which product / service you want to bring to the market. It often presents the challenge. If you have an ultra-innovative product, you can take to the market in leaps and bounds. After all, it does not yet exist and the untapped market has been found. But does your intended customer find that too? How do you organize the marketing strategy and how do you finance R&D and perhaps simultaneously production and market introduction?

Or do you have an innovative idea that allows you to compete with existing markets or products? Then you will always be compared with the already known and you must prove yourself as a provider of an alternative solution. In that case, step-by-step growth will be more obvious.

Ecoleaders mainly focuses on improvements that lead to a better product or service. We offer support in:

• the R&D phase (advice, financing, IP protection, etc.),
• the validation phase (business plans, certifications, etc.)
• the production phase (logistics, financing, etc.) and
• the market penetration (strategy, marketing management, business development, etc.).

Hands-on entrepreneurship is central in all phases.
Innovative ideas know no limits. Neither does Ecoleaders. International business is “business as usual” for us. You decide what, where and how we can help you. An initial conversation and a cup of coffee will help. Do you dare to call yourself Ecoleader before long?

Business Development 2.0

Together with our customers we develop and build a (new) strategy, in which we look ahead in phases. Everything revolves around a proper foundation. Only then a house is built and only then the house is furnished. In that order… This is a dynamic process in which “touch and experience” play an important role. It is obvious to have an eye for (macro) economic developments.

Product development resolves “pain”. Initially, this is an exploratory process (where is the ‘pain’?), After which it is (quickly) visualized by brainstorming and concept development. Feedback by involving stakeholders and / or customers at an early stage is evident. And if we have to, we’ll go back to the drawing board. After all, you may still fail during the early phase. You cannot do that from there on.

After completion of these phases, it’s time for sales. Analytical considerations regarding opportunity, finding the right sales channels and the right parties that also need the success of the customer are essential. This is what Ecoleaders excels in.

Creative Concepts

We like to contribute ideas during this process. After all, creative thinking is the art of going down new paths to solve a problem. New solutions and applications can be devised by asking different questions from different angles.

The psychology behind our creative concepts shows 4 phases:

• Preparation
• Incubation
• Insights
• Testing

We are happy to tell you all about it during a personal interview.
