Advantage "A Roadmap for Entrepreneurs and Leaders in the Digital Age"
Advantage is what creates value for you, your customers and your organisation. Focusing on advantage and sources of advantage through the life cycle of a business, whether it be commercial or not for profit, ensures entrepreneurs and leaders minimise risk and maximise value. This book presents a framework called “The Business Advantage Model (BAM™)” that supports leaders in the identification, creation, proving, securing, leveraging and changing of advantage. It is about doing the right things the right way at the right time across every aspect of starting, scaling and readjusting a business.
The book is a practical guide for entrepreneurs who wish to implement more agile and experimental approaches to business which are learning centric. It is aligned with latest theory and research that address the issues related to traditional sequential approaches that are focused on static business plans. It offers an approach based on learning, facts and data which inform the evolutionary stages of a business and provides more accuracy and reality to starting and scaling a business. It enables a living business plan and a dynamic start up. By adopting this agile information centric approach with a focus on Advantage we reduce risk and improve success rates in new and scaling businesses.
Leaders and team perform best when they have a framework/model and a focus and the BAM™ provides both.
Academic Reviewers have commended and recommended this new approach, as have IBM Innovation and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
Its goal is to help create more high performance organisations.

About the Author

Declan Kavanagh holds a DipEng in Telecommunications & Electronics from the Dublin Institute of Technology, a CDipAF from the ACCA, and an MBA from Dublin City University. He has over 33 years of experience, starting as a hardware test engineer in the IT industry up to founder and CEO in both multinational enterprises and entrepreneurial start-ups. Declan now advises entrepreneurs and business leaders on how to create momentum and acceleration in the Key Performance Indicators for their firms, as well as being actively involved as an added value investor with several technology start-ups. He has been a successful intrapreneur in large enterprises, where he led strategic business change and increased added value from subsidiary to parent. He has started, scaled and successfully sold an IT services business to the Capgemini Group. He has also been involved with struggling ventures, so he has had to lead in both good and challenging times. Declan developed the BAM™ and authored the book Advantage based on his research and experience. He identified that a road-map was needed for entrepreneurs, leaders and students that would complement the models already in use and help readers and users of the BAM™ in a practical and pragmatic manner pull their resources together and ensure they do the right things the right way at the right time.
