The Unexplored Power of Standardized Tools and Customized Implementation
If you’ve worked in any industry or sector long enough, you start to see some patterns.
I have been working in the base of the pyramid (BoP) domain since 1989. During that time, I have been fortunate to engage with many entrepreneurs and business leaders seeking to develop and launch enterprises in BoP markets. When I first meet these entrepreneurs, they are excited and passionate about their potential impact. 
They have a product or service and a proposed business model. Often they have won some sort of business competition or have some internal corporate seed funding. They are on their way, with the next big milestone being additional capital.
