As part of KCM's extensive approach to incubating companies, we integrate a host of proprietary proven business strategies, systems and processes into our incubation process. Most of these strategies are used by KCM incubated companies as part of their operations long after the company has been incubated and is launched into the market.

A KCM Incubation IP Snapshot

5_Fold Media Matrix™

The 5_Fold Media Matrix™ was the first proprietary KCM incubation IP. The 5_Fold Media Matrix™ is an advanced business development and marketing system that effectively deals with the communicative complexities necessarily comprising today's post-modern business environment.

The 5_Fold Media Matrix™ is based upon the important core assumption that the model by which a business operates and the method by which it markets its products or services determines the type and quantity of customers it attracts, and, more importantly, the type and quantity of clients they attract for the business. Commonly referred to as the "stickiness" factor, KCM refers to this word-of-mouth process as Brand Advocacy™ . The 5_Fold Media Matrix™ systematizes Brand Advocacy™ , turning the happenstance of referrals into a predictable controllable process our incubation cliens can leverage to their advantage.

The Non-Competitive Advantage™

You've heard of the importance for a business to identify its areas of competitive advantage, relative to its competition. KCM has developed The Non-Competitive Advantage™ , a business philosophy, strategy and methodology that frees individual employees, management, and ultimately companies from the in-the-box, reactive "thinking" that limits creativity, resulting in performance mediocrity.

Rather than competing for resources, capital, and customers in a finite business environment, incubation clients are taught how to develop strategic alliances with would-be competitors and synergies between other corporate community members, while simultaneously repositioning the company in an operating space of Non-Competition™ respective to their core business. By utilizing this approach, competition between other businesses, and between employees and departments within the company, is not necessary, because there is none! Instead, what is created is an environment defined by cooperative synergies, openness, creativity, and limitless profitability.

Social Graph*ting™

Social Graph*ting™ is a KCM sales system that incorporates networking and The Non-Competitive Advantage™ to build mutually beneficial relationships, while exponentially expanding the incubation clients prospecting pool.

We teach executives, senior management, consultants and entrepreneurs how to develop their company's human capital into social capital that will exponentially increase the number of clients they serve and the amount of revenue they can generate. Social Graph*ting combines the processes behind Brand AdvocacyTM and Human Capital™ to literally mine the social capital of any personal network and convert it into tangible financial capital. Social Graph*ting replaces traditional ineffective networking as an effective business development tool.

D-N-A

KCM has created a unique collaborative consulting methodology to assist organizations in achieving a state of strategic corporate design and practical operations implementation rarely experienced. Using our four step collaborative process we are able to map out an incubation client's corporate "DNA", helping them identify and leverage high revenue generation and profit capabilities, often already existing within the company. These four steps are:

D - ISCOVERY
Often organizations cannot properly identify their own challenges and opportunities. Through facilitation of interactive time-compression simulations, we are able to create an executable destination vision from the organization's current state, and a series of practical low-cost tactical steps to implement the developed strategy.

N - ETWORK
Every organization possesses an infinite Strategic and Social Capital Network that can be leveraged and invested in for substantial and tangible financial returns. These networks have many leverage points, such as intellectual properties, opportunities for joint ventures, human resources, etc, which when combined, emerge as a viability model to support the vision of the organization.

A - CCELERATION
At this phase a clear action and accountability plan is established to execute the vision and viability model into an operationally efficacious and profitable venture. Proprietary KCM implementation strategies are introduced to accelerate the return on investment for the organization and respective stakeholders.
