Ideagist.com Teams with CIC to Provide Critical Factors Assessment Tool for Entrepreneurs
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn and WATERLOO, Ontario (PRWEB) August 31, 2016 -- IdeaGist is teaming up with Canadian Innovation Centre (CIC) to bring the Critical Factors Assessment (CFA) snapshot tool to IdeaGist members, gratis. All IdeaGist.com members will be able to access the CFA snapshot tool, beginning September 7, at no cost to their IdeaGist account online.
The Critical Factors Assessment was developed by the CIC to help entrepreneurs assess a potential venture against different recognition factors that help predict success. The complimentary version of the CFA tool allows entrepreneurs to self-assess their enterprise against eight overall standard factors for market success.
For entrepreneurs who want quick feedback to see how their venture stacks up, the CFA is the consummate tool. Its objective feedback can provide solid analytic evaluation that entrepreneurs and idea makers can utilize to either re-think an original idea, or advance it to the next stage.
The assessment tool is available in three forms: the flagship Critical Factors Assessment, the CFA Snapshot Plus and the CFA Snapshot, a simplified version of the CIC’s flagship service. The CFA’s leading assessment tool delivers a comprehensive appraisal of a prospective venture, cultivated by experts against the 42 criteria that CIC research has established to be important factors affecting venture success.
The CFA full Critical Factors Assessment and Snapshot Plus tools are fee based, comprehensive assessment reports weighing more than 40 critical factors, which determine the weaknesses and strengths of the technology, business issues, market options and challenging implementation barriers. Specific feedback from these reports helps plan one’s entrepreneurial path forward. The CFA Full Assessment takes four to six weeks to complete.
The CIC has consistently been at the forefront of innovation in Canada, designing programs to foster the development of innovative new businesses and increased innovation in existing businesses. The organization’s impact has earned international recognition and awards, government engagement, and tens of thousands of clients who have approached the CIC for help with their startup venture.
Both IdeaGist and the Canadian Innovation Centre are committed to helping entrepreneurs move forward with their inspired ideas.
