3 THINGS I LEARNED

What’s most important for both companies and employees is to just get the job done. Think about what problems need solving and just go about solving them - no matter your title. Often the job that needs to get done centres around improving your product on offer to serve your customers better.
Abel / Advanced Medtech has a very simple formula for everything it does: CEC - MIS. Everything you touch needs to be Compelling, Engaging and Convincing. And then it needs to translate into Massive Impact and Scale. First refine your product to make it compelling, engaging and convincing (CEC) and then pursue the impact and scale.
Every business should follow its own path. Think carefully and clearly about your strengths and weaknesses. If you’re thinking of bringing a product to market yourself, consider if you have the capability to do so. If you’re thinking of partnering with an existing firm, think about whether you are a good cultural fit with them.
