​

THE ORIGINS OF OUR BRAND NAME MOCHA MEDIA®

 

The culture of business development is synonymous to coffee making in that we all have an important part to play by working together to find the right "blend" of ingredients to produce experiences and results.

​

The Art and Science of Business Development & Technology Management is founded on how we blend tools, strategies, policies, and know-how to produce the desired experiences and results. The first step starts with identifying the best ingredients. We call this "the base." The second step is to add whatever ingredients we need to enhance that base. Our business development & consulting practice follows this process whereby we continually add ingredients, stir, then taste of course, and so on until we produce the right blend of ingredients that when brought together produce an optimal result for our clients.

 

MOCHA MEDIA® BUSINESS CULTURE

 

Mocha Media's® corporate culture is founded on our "blend" of multi-cultural, multi-national, and multi-talented people each of whom harnesses a wealth of knowledge and experience. Our specialists & generalists share a passion for servant leadership.

FORMULATING SOLUTIONS

​

The mathematician George Pólya popularized heuristics in the mid–20th century, in his book How to Solve It. He learned mathematical proofs as a student but he did not know, nor was he taught, the ways mathematicians arrived at such proofs. How to Solve It is a collection of ideas about heuristics that he taught to mathematics students – ways of looking at problems and formulating solutions.

​

• If you are having difficulty understanding a problem, try drawing a picture.

• If you can’t find a solution, try assuming that you have a solution and seeing what you can derive from that (“working backward”).

• If the problem is abstract, try examining a concrete example.

• Try solving a more general problem first (the “inventor’s paradox”: the more ambitious plan may have more chances of success).

​

Formulating solutions

​

• Draw the picture to understand what problems we are trying to solve.

• Draw the picture to understand the business challenges and how to confront them.

• Draw the picture to understand what is lacking in one’s business to understand how to fill a need.

• Draw the picture to make sure that everyone has a better sense of what we’re trying to accomplish.
