The entrepreneur who lacks resources often can’t really explain the reasons why he or she is, in fact, resource poor. It’s actually a “blind spot” for them, and they often attribute their lack of resources to unavoidable events. But the scarcity of resources may only be the “tangible evidence” that this particular entrepreneur has a limited ability to execute or perform the requirements of the Entrepreneurial Success Script(the pattern for achieving success in a new business venture).

For example, they may not have properly “harvested” past business ventures (captured profits or turned equity into financial gain) thereby generating sufficient resources to make possible future venturing. The entrepreneurs who lack resources may also be “lone wolves” who have not learned how to mobilize others. Or, they may not have recognized their area of extraordinary expertise (what they do best) and are “barking up the wrong tree”.Many venturing types who are either “Classic Expert Entrepreneurs” or “Institutional Experts”, have “done their time” in the area of lacking resources. Times of scarcity appear to be a natural part of the new venturing experience, and for this reason those who lack resources have a unique situation. Things such as raising venture capital or finding potential investors may appear to be far from their current state.So, within this group are opportunities waiting to be refined. And while their plans should be given serious consideration, they should also be thoroughly scrutinized.What You Should DoYou might currently feel comfortable going it alone with your own limited resources, or lending your venturing expertise to an established business opportunity where resources (such as cash, contacts, infrastructure, technology, etc.) are already in place.But if the entrepreneurs who lack resources intend to engage in or proceed with a new venture, they should seek help from other experts, or from appropriate consultants. You probably need an expert advisory board. Essentially, your needs “appear” to be resources, and in fact they partly are. But they also include the need for close examination by experts other than yourself (venture capitalists, institutional experts within a bank or small business department of a university, or by expert venturers) to identify the more subtle reasons why resources are flowing slowly or not at all.So, if you lack resources and are intent on undertaking a new venture, try to humble yourself, find an extra measure of patience, put yourself into a listening frame of mind, and start seeking detailed, specific input regarding the approach that you are taking to your venture. Most likely you will face the obstacle of being over-optimistic on your own part and will attempt to refute or challenge the advice you get (viewing it as being irrelevant or lacking in optimism). You really are dealing with a potential “blind spot” and are likely to misinterpret the information that you receive. Essentially you will benefit most from triangulation (several sources of input), and from patience, humility, and open-mindedness. What you may discover is worth the wait!

Successful organizations know that business models need to be continually improved in order to add profitability and effectiveness. A good place to start is to be sure you understand what customers, users, and beneficiaries really need. Most organizations are providing offerings that match what they want to offer rather than what is desired.

After you know what the actual needs and desires are, you still have a big task in business model innovation: Every organizational leader knows that you cannot be all things to all people, or you will fail to have a distinct image and competence advantage. The best business models work on that basis to move in the opposite direction: Do the fewest number of things for the most profitable customers where the organization can gain or increase a competitive advantage. A nonprofit organization can stretch its resources by focusing on beneficiaries it serves less expensively and better than anyone else.

Detroit fell in love with robots in the 1980s. Led by GM’s Roger Smith, robots seemed to offer the promise of improving quality, eliminating dangerous jobs, and making Detroit more competitive with Japanese manufacturers.

However, robots of that era had some drawbacks. If you wanted to shift the robot to do a slightly different task, the setup time wasn’t very fast and engineers had to make the changes. When the robot’s purpose was to eliminate lower cost jobs, the savings often weren’t so great.
