The “IpOp” software offers a structured
and straightforward way for technologists to assess
the commercial potential and steps to realize value
for their technologies. An additional value of the tool
is that it gives organizations a common language and
framework for evaluating projects.

I have had the opportunity to appreciate the full dedication
and commitment of Raphael Cohen and can therefore recommend
the OpportunityBooster

Raphael’s step-by-step methodology supporting
the innovation process has helped participants structure
the analysis of their project, identify critical success
factors and make sure that critical issues are not ignored.
The feedback from the participants was very positive,
citing the session’s practical and immediate applicability…
Raphael has been proven to be a good fit into our model,
bringing with him both academic rigor and a pragmatic
practitioners approach.

Blaise Goetschin, CEO
Mr. Cohen has managed to convince the audience of the
benefits of his approach as well as the easiness of
its use. This motivation factor has immediately been
expressed by the spontaneous creation of several groups
of intrapreneurs as well as the development of innovative
products and approaches benefiting our clients…we
can recommend, without reservation, his “Management
booster” services.

Serono tested Management by
Opportunity
in its Swiss R&D Center
He decided to screen this project with the Management
by Opportunity tools. He proposed a different business
model and produced a 10 page outline demonstrating the
potential of this technology. It confirmed that Serono
could not only use the technology to accelerate compound
testing but could also capitalize on it from spinning
it off. This concise report ultimately convinced Serono's
management to support spinning off this start-up.

The evaluation of the course of entrepreneurship is

made last year (the global report is available at http://daawww.epfl.ch/daa/uneedip/qualite/evaluations01.pdf
Keep on with the good work.
