STAGE 2: VALIDATE THAT IDEA!

  1. Watch the next instructional video.
  2. Each person chooses their best idea.
  3. Each person pitches that single idea to the rest of their team using the video conferencing tool.
  4. When everyone’s idea has been heard, the team will vote on which idea or combination of ideas will move forward for validation.
  5. One team member will use The Validate Guide (below) as a format to flesh out their idea.
  6. Fill out the 3 questions on the guide.

When developing your pitch, keep in mind the partnership model of Arm, and the licencing vs royalties model of making money.

We, not I

Start with long-term value to customers and partners, and work back from there.

Passion For Progress

Work with pace and judgement. Adapt to circumstances.
Be accountable for the decisions you take. Learn from failure.

Be Your Brilliant Self

Seek and embrace differences.
Encourage curiosity and challenge.

This is a chance to practice all you learned from the dynamic discussions’ session.

Remember PEEL when developing your idea

Point – Make your point – one clear sentence that’s easy to understand

Explain – Explain your key terms, make sure everybody’s on the same page, talk about why what you’ve said is important

Examples – Paint a picture of where this has happened, personal examples, hypotheticals, statistics – anything to add more weight to your argument

Link – Recap, go back to the point, explain why it’s true, why it’s important, why people should listen to what you’ve said
