imageWhat Are WhipApps?
WisdomGroup creates WhipApps, small software projects whipped out in rapid fashion within a fixed budget. A WhipApp runs on the web, iPhone, or iPad. A WhipApp turns a trial-size version of your business idea into proof-of-concept software.

Who Needs WhipApps?
Different companies need WhipApps for different reasons. Here are a few:

  • You have a great idea that requires a massive overhaul of your web site. But the budget is tight. You’ve decided to implement your idea one-step-at-a-time. You need WhipApps.
  • You’re an entrepreneur with several ideas for the web, iPhone, or iPad. Which idea do you pursue first? The window of opportunity is closing, and you need to decide now. You need WhipApps.
  • Your company is going through turmoil in this tough economy. You know that recession is the mother of invention and you’re deciding which way to steer the ship. You need WhipApps.

Your Own Personal SkunkWorks
In the middle of World War II the U.S. Military learned that the Axis powers were developing a jet fighter. The winner of the jet race would win the war. America needed a jet fighter immediately, but our existing aircraft development system was bureaucratic and slow.

The solution: Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP), also known as Skunk Works. A small team of engineers and scientists got the project done in rapid fashion. In the end, the Skunk Works team was overshadowed by another small & aggressive team of scientists: The Manhattan Project. The lesson is clear: Small, aggressive teams produce results.

Use WhipApps as your own personal Skunk Works.
