Context

Renowned expert and photographer of the Sri Lankan Leopard (Panthera Pardus Kotiya) of Horton Plains had a dream to document his work into a Research and Coffee Table book. I supported him with,

  • Providing the initial investment to verify and validate his creative dream
  • Providing the financial advisory : to calculate Return On Investment (ROI), Pricing and Profitability.
  • Support in connecting with potential sponsors.

Why This Was Important?

It is often hard to quantify the effort to execute on any goal. It is even harder when the goal is a creative aspiration.

Contribution

Applying my business mind to the Author’s creative aspiration and subject matter expertise enabled us to calculate

  • Pricing of the book
  • How many books it would take to achieve breakeven
  • Apply different models to calculate profitability and chose the relevant option
