Strategic business development in SME
I always find the environment in SMEs very productive and innovative, even though small businesses face capacity constraints. They are preoccupied with delivering products, solving staff problems and simply cannot find enough time to turn off their phones and discuss key issues and vital questions such as “What produces profit?”, “Who brings us the highest margin?” and “How can we manage our growth?”
New cooperation usually begins with a small project – a new client needs my advice concerning how to prepare a proposal for a public authority, I provide an advisory service associated with a project preparation to gain a support from national or EU funds. I also assist with finding a research partner, and advise how to modify web pages and build online presentations. In several cases, the cooperation has flourished into a long-term business relationship, where I design long term projects, provide workshops to train employees and evaluate processes and activities. I find myself supporting my clients to solve ongoing operative issues more efficiently to increase time efficiency, then we have space to plan strategic issues. It means a lot to me whenever I am asked to participate in business development. This scenario is mutually beneficial, I can precisely study the key areas of my client’s new business, explore the current business climate and my client clearly sees the system I use. Often we find ourselves to be on the same page, so the cooperation continues for many years.

Technology transfer and building bridges between the academy and SME
I have been involved in various projects where an SME and an R&D partner search for a new engine, system or technology in the field of biological waste management. I was supporting project management and reporting progress. The team of researchers creates usually two or three members who solve any issues the SME experience which pose problems. I have already participated in a new nano solution for water treatment processes in medium and small size stations, designing a new small scale unit, for biogas enrichment or digestate tratment in an environmentally friendly way. I am myself interested in micro economical research focused on innovation management in SME, strategic economical management in SME and economical – environmental evaluation.

International networking
Cooperation at the EU level is indeed challenging for SMEs, as well as medium sized research organizations and also professional expert NGOs. In 2014 I founded a Technological Environmental Economical platform, czTee.eu, to support international cooperation and I established a team of experts. We became involved in two international programmes in 2 years – INTERREG EUROPE and Visegrad Standard Funds.

Innovations and added value
Innovation in tourism
Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic, is internationally renowned for its unique ambience and the influx of international visitors. It serves as a key element of the new cosmopolitan identity in the by post-socialist period. There were 15,000 beds available, it was 50,000 in the first few years of the 2000s .. as the statistics mention. I have my own personal experience as “I was there” right in the heart of Prague, The Old Town Square, and the Astronomical Clock. Believe me, 15 years ago, there were far less people costumed in bright colours or holding umbrellas.
The new style that we created
City Walks was an SME focused on foreign tourists in Prague, offering thematic walks in Prague, on a daily basis, without a need to book in advance. Customers could simply show up at a given time at the meeting point (Astronomical Clock and later St. Wenceslaw Horse Statue) and meet a tour guide holding a coloured umbrella. It was my business partner who introduced this innovation to the Prague tourist market. At that time, only Prague Information Service offered walking tours, but only upon the condition of prior reservation. City Walks was originally primarily focused on visitors from the UK and the United States who were already familiar with this type of service from their home countries and offered walking tours as a much better deal, compared to Prague Information Service.
The Map of Prague
We started to run the company to together in early 2000s, we worked hard on marketing, and quickly experienced huge success. Presumably, the same as Steve Jobs, Ford or Mr Jančura (Regio Jet founder), we experienced the same moment when they suddenly felt the success and sturdy increase of sales. I lived that moment fully. Opening the yellow umbrella in front of the Astronomical Clock and seeing literally a clear majority of the people standing there to come to me to sign up for the walking tour. Under no circumstances would I consider comparing our company with Apple or Student Agency (Regio Jet). However, we were, for five years the market leader in organized walking tours in Prague and pre-empted a variety of walking tours to other companies. Whenever we introduced a new product (4-hour tour, 6-hour program with a boat trip and lunch) other competitors quickly followed suit. It is our map design that you can still find as the most commonly used (link). We called it “painted map” because our graphic designer painted it beautifully for us. Originally it was in the red color that I changed to grey – so it looks more like a map.

Friendly and creative atmosphere
Being a tour operator was my first business where I quickly learnt a lot. I found out that the most important people are the people you do business with and the pleasant atmosphere that you create is vital for a good business. In a friendly and leisurely atmosphere people are relaxed, work hard and are creative; trust and responsibility is a must. I managed a team of producers, graphic desingers and organised projects focused on Marketing and PR of R&D. From 2013 – 2015 we produced over 35 videos, launched several dedicated mini (micro) sites concerning researchers and unique R&D projects. We also lectured about how to simply explain the results to the general public. Eie is a trademark I co-created (www.eie-jinak.eu)

Change management
Environment of SME is inseparably connected with ongoing changes. SMEs are more vulnerable to new competitors or changes in justice. However SMEs are much more flexible and able to adapt easily to new circumstances. The simple managerial structure and direct communication saves a lot of time and produces far better results. I have participated in a process of change management diagnosing the added value and performance management of knowledge. One of my clients wanted to capitalize. I gave them my advice regarding what to focus on, and how to restructure operative tasks so that the founder can maximise the potential of her staff and concentrate on new innovative project preparation. I participated with the establishment of the R&D department and with determining the innovation strategies connected with the development of new consumption materials.
