As reported by the ExpertizeMe project team

01 / Starting point

Where the client started

Entrepreneur and business development consultant

The client already had business experience, an original business transformation methodology and a digital monograph. The book had no print run or systematic distribution to relevant institutions. The project aimed to extend the reach of the existing work in professional and educational settings.

Before

An original methodology and a digital monograph, without a print run or systematic physical distribution.

Through the engagement

The book appeared in print and was sent to relevant institutions. Another publisher offered to fund an additional print run.

02 / Delivery

How the work progressed

New editions and distribution of the monograph, research publications, an expert review and media support.

  1. 01

    Developed the existing book

    Coordinated an ISBN for the English version and a revised, expanded second edition in Ukrainian. The work included updating publication details and maintaining links to earlier materials.

  2. 02

    Coordinated printing and distribution

    Built a list of relevant institutions with the client. Publishing partners produced 500 copies, with books sent to 25 research libraries and 20 economics universities and business schools.

  3. 03

    Extended the publication portfolio

    Supported the preparation and publication of two research articles on the subject of the author’s work, and arranged an independent expert review of the monograph.

  4. 04

    Supported professional communication

    Coordinated media coverage and communication with business communities. The client took part in professional events; feedback and letters reflected interest in applying the approach.

03 / Contributions

Who contributed what

The client

Provided the original four-stage methodology, practical cases and work results. Contributed to author materials, the selection of institutions and professional communication.

ExpertizeMe

Coordinated the strategy, preparation and organisation of materials, publication and media support, and stages of book distribution.

Publishers and other participants

Handled editorial production, printing and shipping, and organised events. The methodology and original substantive material belonged to the client.

04 / What changed

A publisher offered to fund an additional print run

A publisher approached the entrepreneur with an offer to fund an additional print run. The author’s work attracted a publisher willing to invest in its wider distribution. This was an offer for a further print run; this case does not claim that it has already been produced.

  • A publisher approached the client and offered to finance an additional print run of the book.

  • Two published language versions of the monograph with publication details in place.

  • A print run and targeted distribution to research and educational institutions.

  • Two additional research articles, an expert review and coverage in business and other media.

  • The client also gained an opportunity to participate in the editorial board of a specialist journal.

05 / Understanding the result

Constraints and decisions

The initial international shipping plan was revised to account for cost, shipment weight and institutions’ acceptance procedures. Distribution focused on a targeted list for the main print edition.

Publication details and supporting materials required additional checks and several editorial iterations.

Sending books to institutions does not establish their inclusion in curricula or use by every recipient. Individual confirmations were not collected from all institutions.
