Methodology and IP Development

Creating Proprietary IP Frameworks and Your Signature Methodology

A signature methodology starts with a universal value proposition and turns it into a structure that produces repeatable results. This session covers how to build one, the difference between a taxonomy and a process, and how to make the frameworks inside it memorable enough to be worth owning.

What this session covers

  • Creating a universal value proposition, and aligning a core methodology to it
  • Taxonomy versus process — two different structures that get confused constantly
  • Worked examples, including Mindset / Market / Method / Model and Awareness / Consideration / Conversion / Retention
  • The MECE test: every part stands alone, and together they cover the whole problem
  • Why the classics endure — the 4 P’s, SWOT, AIDA — and how to name yours so it sticks
  • The DMAT progression from doing to managing, advising, and teaching, and how it maps a business you can scale
  • Seven ways to visualise a framework, plus the AI tools that get non-designers to a usable diagram
  • Originality and credit — being an explorer rather than a guru, and when trademarking is worth it
