Description: "The Entrepreneurial Arch is the result of my quest to pull all these pieces into a unified description of entrepreneurship. That description has two parts: Business Discovery and Business Execution. Each of those parts has three components. Together the six components describe fundamental skills that every organization wishes it could enhance: * Identify emerging opportunities (and threats) * Formulate innovative business solutions around those opportunities * Assess the feasibility of those proposed businesses * Develop an actionable implementation plan from disparate and incomplete information * Identify, align and/or acquire the necessary resources needed to power the plan forward * Drive accelerated growth"--
