Focalizer

All innovations evolve and new businesses are no exception. An entrepreneur's original business concept often bears little resemblance to the final value proposition taken to the market. 

The concept often needs to go through a large number of iterations before it can be launched. The founders need to collaborate, not only with each other but also potential customers, suppliers, investors and suppliers of relevant market information.

The mentor acting as focalizer is not the architect of the solution: his role is more of a conduit, to funnel and filter all relevant information between the collaborators working on the various approaches to the solution.

The focalizer will also assist the creative process by ensuring that all the appropriate questions have been asked and addressed, and suggesting various alternative strategies and scenarios.
