Based on their own entrepreneurial experiences and qualitative and quantitative data from meeting nearly 15,000 entrepreneurs, Underdogs coaches are constantly researching and developing methodologies, workshops, and tools to help entrepreneurs get their feet wet and get results.

METHODOLOGY

At Underdogs, we’ve always been interested in how entrepreneurs can effectively communicate their first-hand experiences and insights to other entrepreneurs so that they can reduce the amount of trial and error they have to go through. Therefore, we are constantly thinking and developing know-how and data accumulated from meeting about 15,000 entrepreneurs into intuitive frames and theories.

4 Steps Practical Entrepreneurship Methodology

When you’re starting a business, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by where you are and where you want to go. The 4 Steps Practical Entrepreneurship methodology divides entrepreneurship into four phases, providing entrepreneurs with a framework for each phase, such as perspective taking and hypothesis generation, with a focus on rapid execution and validation.

6 Dimension Business Diagnostic Methodology

To make your startup sustainable, you need to be able to constantly assess your business and be flexible enough to change. The 6 Dimension Business Diagnostic Methodology is a methodology that diagnoses the current status of a startup team from six perspectives: problem, item, hypothesis testing, BM, market, and sustainability, and derives future focus areas and action points.

DOGS Entrepreneurial Aptitude Assessment Methodology

The DOGS entrepreneurship diagnosis methodology is an optimal team building methodology to understand the types of social innovation entrepreneurs by analyzing and classifying the types of entrepreneurs based on the DISC theory. The DOGS Entrepreneurial Personality Assessment methodology helps you understand the personalities and values needed for team building and lays the foundation for an organizational culture where individuals are respected.

DOGS 4.0 Startup Talent Type Diagnostic Methodology

In order to be effective, you need to know what your work characteristics are. Underdogs created the ‘DOGS Startup Talent Type Diagnostic Methodology’ based on the ‘DISC Behavioral Type Test’ to help startup workers understand their work/behavioral types and develop them into strengths.

I.O.I problem detection methodology

Inside-Out / Outside-In

As an entrepreneur, the most important thing is to define the problem you want to solve from your own perspective. The I.O.I problem exploration methodology is a methodology that helps you get to the heart of a problem by distinguishing whether the problem starts with you (IO) or is external to you (OI).

GNSC Stakeholder Research Methodology

Government – NPO – Social Venture – Company

Our society’s problems are intertwined with many different stakeholders. The GNSC Stakeholder Research Methodology is a desk and field research methodology that helps you comprehensively understand and compare the perspectives of existing stakeholders (government, NGOs, social ventures, corporations) of the problem you’re trying to solve, and derive your own perspective.

ST Matrix Question Setting Methodology

Entrepreneurs have a lot of problems they want to solve. The ST Matrix problem-setting methodology is a methodology that helps you analyze problems and set up solutions along two axes: Seriousness and Timing to help you decide which problems to solve first.

Methodology for setting up an IF matrix solution
