A Proof of Concept doesn’t create impact on its own. It creates impact when others believe in it. Without stakeholder buy-in, even the best experiment risks being dismissed as tech tinkering. The key is to frame early experiments as business stories anchored in goals, assumptions, solutions, and evidence.
Bold goals don’t fail because of lack of effort. They fail because assumptions go untested. Well-structured Proof of Concepts (PoCs) bridges that gap, turning uncertainty into clarity. Using a simple framework, you can design PoCs that validate the riskiest assumptions quickly, reduce wasted effort, and build the confidence your stakeholders need to move forward.
