Prominent CEO Leaders in 2021

Posted by nisha on July 17th, 2021

All individuals and enterprises, in my opinion, are eventually offering services to our society. Our civilization is on the verge of becoming a machine-enabled society in the coming decades, and EarlyBirds' mission is to "Engage Society in Actionable Innovation!"

With our Open Innovation Ecosystem, which includes Innovators (Startups, Scaleups, and Mature Organizations), Early Adopters (Private and Public Organizations looking to solve their business and technical challenges), and Subject Matter Experts - SMEs, everything we do at EarlyBirds is enabling this vision (Domain and Industry experts).

We connect these three parties through the platform, where our SMEs deliver our specialised programmes.

What obstructions did do you face at the time of inception?

Almost all potential clients, investors, and Subject Matter Experts agreed on the potential of the idea because it was so unique.

The difficulty was that we were trying to get three sides together to address complex challenges, so there were a lot of reliances on getting the focus right at the appropriate time.

Kris' inspiration for EarlyBirds stemmed from a problem he saw while working on a huge transformation project, where a disruptive startup solution could have been deployed instead of lengthy initiatives to develop new products from the ground up.

How do you determine the functionalities that technical solutions should offer?

It should be linked with corporate strategy, scale, and if possible, employ out-of-the-box features of any well-known product. It should also be simple to use and secure.

By bringing together three parties – innovators (startups, scaleups, and mature), early adopter organisations (both public and private sector), and subject matter experts - EarlyBirds has created a global Open Innovation Ecosystem (Domain and Industry experts).

We're on a mission with our stakeholders to ensure that our values are in sync with theirs.

Our internally aligned product roadmaps are now fully aligned to deliver to our customers and stakeholders, ensuring a culture of customer and stakeholder satisfaction.

How do you remain up-to-date with the latest trends happening in the industry?

Customers, Innovators, and Subject Matter Experts are all vital sources, but I also host major leaders from all of these categories on our webinars, and all of these contribute insights. On top of that, I continue to study through online courses, events, and several industry meetings.

EarlyBirds is on a mission to fulfill its mission of "Engaging Society in Actionable Innovation!"

We created the Edzlity (Edge and Agility) framework to assist organisations in becoming Self-Learning organisations. With our platform, products, and services, we will continue to innovate products and align our services to deliver these results and programs.
