Ockham Technologies Living on the Razor’s Edge case study Determine how the current fund-
raising efforts will affect the formation of Ockham’s board of directors. Determine which board-
related factors Triandiflou should consider when deciding which financing offer to accept. 3.
Discuss how you would handle the increasing tension between you and Mike Meisenheimer if
you were Jim Triandiflou. 4. Determine if Ockham should outsource its system-development
efforts, and if so, to which company, and if not, how it should it complete development of the
system for IBM. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s
name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in
the required page length.
Leaving a well-paying job in a big company to have a startup of your own
requires great courage and is quite an achievement in its own right. Triandiflou,
with the kind of conservative family he has come from where switching schools
is considered 'big change' has done really well in the aspect of getting started.
Moreover, he pooled in more money than Ken Burows and Mike Meisenheimer.
As for assembling key human resources, he did not do a great job. He partnered
up with Ken Burows who played it safe because of his family situation, which is
fair enough from his perspective but not from that of the company. Since it
initially was Ken and Triandiflou's brainchild, he should have been there or at
least he should have been honest about this situation from the start. Jim also got
Mike Meisenheimer on board, with whom he currently is having problems. This
is addressed in question 3.
Next up is working with Flex solutions and Ron Hardin for the development of
the Sales Management Automation (SMA) Suite of s/w. Flex did not produce
the results that Ockham was looking for. At this point Jim should have been
more judicious in his choices. All this is easy for us to say in hindsight. The key
to success in a startup is the ability to learn quickly from your mistakes and not
repeat them. It is our hope Triandiflou has learned his lesson
1. Determine how the current fund-raising efforts will affect the formation
of Ockham’s board of directors.
